A former Meta employee is suing the tech giant, claiming he was fired for attempting to correct biases against Palestinian content on Instagram, Reuters reports.
Ferras Hamad, a Palestinian-American engineer, has filed a lawsuit against Meta, asserting he was dismissed for addressing bugs that suppressed posts about Palestine and Gaza.
In his complaint, Hamad accuses Meta of demonstrating a consistent bias against Palestinians.
He alleges that the company deleted internal communications mentioning the deaths of relatives in Gaza and investigated employees for using the Palestinian flag emoji.
