Republican AGs demand Meta answers on Oct. 7 content moderation policies

First on Fox – At least twelve Republican prosecutors of the state from all over the United States signed a letter to Jennifer NewSid, the chief legal official of Meta Platforms, to demand answers about the company’s actions in the wake of terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023 in Israel.

“We, the 12 general prosecutors signed below, are writing to express our serious fears about the recent allegations related to dead behavior in the aftermath of the massacre and the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023 in Israel,” said the letter sent to Mita a day after the second anniversary of the attacks.

Publicists call on NewSid to provide the latest dead policies on depicting violence and incitement, as well as any other related policies. Newstead is also required to describe “therapeutic efforts”, if any, which Meta made after the October 7 attacks. In addition, the public prosecutor asked Newstead to detail any other steps taken by Meta to prevent illegal violence on its platforms.

Public Prosecutors asked NewSid to provide a response to the letter by November 10, 2025.

And the general prosecutors who signed the message are Alan Wilson from South Carolina, Brina Bird from Iowa, Steve Marshall of Alabama, Tim Griffin of Arkansas, James Othmir from Florida, Todd Rockita from Indiana, Gentner Dromond of Oklahoma, Catherine Hanayi from Missouri, Austin Kenodsen from Montena, Mike Hilgarers from Nebraska, Marti Jacqueli from South Dakota, and Ken Pixon from Texas.

The current dead policy – which has been changed several times since the attacks – says it removes “threats to violence against various goals” and defines threats to violence as “data or images that represent intention, ambition or call for violence against a goal, and threats can be expressed in various types of data such as intentions, calls to work, invitation, expressing hope, ambitious data and conditional data.”

In addition, Meta says on its website that it protects users from “kidnapping or kidnapping” and photographing “severe or medium violence.”

“Hamas is banned from our platforms, and we remove the content that supports and glorifies them and terrorist attacks on October 7,” Mita spokesman said in a statement to Fox Business: “In the wake of the attacks, we have formed a custom teams that worked around the clock to address and remove the content that violates our policies, while ensuring the possibility of using our platforms to condemn Hamas and raise awareness of its victims and hostages who are still being held in Gaza.”

Meta spokesman also indicated that the company established a special operations center after that, which includes speakers in the Hebrew and Arabic language fluently, who can monitor the situation in the actual time, allowing the removal of sensitive content faster. The spokesman said that in the three days that followed the attacks, the company removed or put a mark on more than 795,000 pieces of content that violates its policies or put a disturbing sign on it.

The message comes after the families of the victims of October 7 filed a billion dollar lawsuit against Mita, claiming that the company’s platforms played a role in distributing a video showing the atrocities.

In the lawsuit, the loved ones of the victims claim that Mita intentionally enabled the distribution of live and recorded videos, such as killing and taking hostages, according to the CTECH website, an Israeli technology news port. The prosecutors added that this turned Facebook and Instagram into “an integral part of the terrorist attack on Israel.”

The Prosecutor wrote in the letter addressed to NewSid: “If the claimants and victims’ allegations are correct, it is difficult to see how dead met her own standards, “the Prosecutor wrote in the letter addressed to NewSid.

One of the claimants is Moore Peder, who watched the horrific video of her grandmother’s killing on Facebook after she tried to reach her, according to Ctech. The newspaper said that after failing to reach her grandmother, Prakha Levinson, who was a resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, Bayder looked on social media for answers. Instead, I found violent video on the platform.

“For many hours, in the actual time and after a long period of terrorist attack, horrific documents of the attack (in a stretch phrase) were published, innocent civilians – children, the elderly, women and men – are exposed to atrocities that the paper can not even bear a description.”

The Idan family, also listed in the lawsuit, claims that the 22 -year -old Mayan Idan killing and kidnapping her father Tsachi was broadcast directly on Facebook, according to CTECH, who indicated that Tsachi was later killed in captivity.
