The background to this case is that the land of the Palestinians living in Sheikh Jarrah was occupied by the Jewish settlers last Monday, after which the Palestinians protested on social media and took the position that they are being evicted.

Instagram said in a statement that an auto-update last week caused content shared by several users to disappear, affecting posts by locals in Sheikh Jarrah, Colombia, the United States and Canada.
“We regret that this happened, especially to those who were concerned about Colombia, Occupied Jerusalem and various other communities and who feel that their voices have been deliberately suppressed,” Instagram said in a statement. But we had no such intention.
But various digital rights organizations, including Seven Emily, have called on Twitter and Instagram to adopt policies of transparency and coherent moderation. Instagram users faced restrictions last week.
“The problem is not solved, we demand an explanation for this censorship and now the flaws in the automated system will not be accepted as an excuse,” he told Reuters.
