Facebook Moves Against Hamas in West Bank
(Now-Lebanon) "Facebook has closed, over the past two days, a large number of pages run by and close to the Hamas movement's media" in the West Bank after a "wide-ranging and organized complaint campaign" that was supported by Israel, the Islamist group said in a statement Wednesday. "Today and yesterday, [Hamas] pages in Ramallah, Galilee, Nablus, Bethlehem, Qalqilya, Salfit, Tubas and Jenin were closed, as well as the page of the Muslim Youth League in the West Bank." Facebook also "launched a campaign against Islamic Bloc pages in West Bank universities, closing the Bloc's An-Najah, Galilee and Palestine Polytechnic pages." "Facebook has closed and frozen the accounts of dozens of publishers and administrators."
