This policy outlook tackles algorithmic censorship amid the Israeli War on Gaza, highlighting concerns over biases and transparency in shaping information related to Israeli aggression. It delves into the impact on freedom of expression and conflict reporting, exploring how Palestinians have responded to algorithmic suppression, particularly the youth. The policy outlook then suggests algorithmic reforms, including aligning decision-making principles for both algorithms as well as their operators with real-world context to ensure algorithmic justice.
