Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Meta’s hiring of over 100 former Israeli spies and soldiers, many with ties to Unit 8200, has sparked major questions about the company’s commitment to free speech. These revelations highlight Meta’s involvement in the suppression of pro-Palestinian voices during Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza.
A report by The Gray Zone has revealed that Meta hires over 100 Israeli soldiers and spies. Among those recruited is Shira Anderson, Meta’s AI policy chief, an American lawyer who volunteered for the Israeli army under the infamous Garin Tzabar program. This program allows non-Israelis to join the Israeli military. Anderson served as a non-commissioned officer in the Israeli army and wrote propaganda reports, linking her closely to military efforts in Gaza. Her role at Meta now involves shaping AI policy and public relations messages for the tech giant.
Anderson’s case is far from unique. A growing number of former Israeli intelligence officers now occupy key positions at Meta. Many, including former members of the Israeli intelligence unit 8200, work in artificial intelligence roles. These individuals, like Anderson, are tasked with guiding the future of AI at Meta, raising concerns about the misuse of this technology to suppress Palestinian voices and create military kill lists.
