Leaked data reveals Israeli govt campaign to remove pro-Palestine posts on Meta

Realistically, how can we uncover this type of foreign interference? As in, is there any hack someone in our community can perform to expose Israeli propaganda? Israel locked journalists out of Ghaza, and has pretty much dominion over social media in the US. How can someone remain informed or expose misinformation campaigns (ideally without repercussions, which is a dangerous control they have over our gov)?

Meta could start by being transparent when they are asked to take down a post and could be transparent when they comply.

They have released this data for at least ten years at this point. That's one of the sources the Human Rights group used.

One defense against it might just be to actively crawl Facebook and externally record the contents of posts as soon as they're posted. Then you have a record of everything that got deleted.

I don't know how you scale that up to make it easy for everyone to find "disappeared" content on any platform. Maybe some kind of peer-to-peer system where everyone's browser cache basically acts as a searchable archive, with a browser plugin that inserts a button into web pages to show disappeared content.

(It's also worth noting that probably a lot of content that was removed by moderators was removed for a legitimate reason. So, ideally you'd have some sort of crowd moderation to get rid of the stuff that really is spam or hate speech or whatever.)
