Tens of Palestinian journalists, activists and writers have been pushed off social media or had their posts censored for covering Israel's August bombardment of the Gaza strip, in shocking new revelations.

Facebook, TikTok and Whatsapp have all been accused of closing the accounts of Gazans reporting civilian deaths by Lebanese press freedom organisation SKeyes.

"I posted a number of photos detailing the civilians killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip on 17 August," said freelance journalist Omar Abu Nada to SKeyes.

"They then accused me of breaching their publishing standards. This also happened on TikTok, after I published videos of the deceased - and for the same reason," he continued.

"But the real reason is clear: it's about cleansing their platforms of Palestinian content," concluded Abu Nada.
