Who is Jill Stein? Why should I care if she lost her Instagram account?
- hypeit 3y ago
  She's a presidential candidate for the Green party. One of the most well known non-Democrat/Republican politicians in the US.

I'm not sure I understand the situation based off the linked post. I get the part that Meta won't let her create a duplicate, but what happened to her original account? Was her original account banned, or did she just lose her password or something?

  It was banned: https://twitter.com/DrJillStein/status/1725911405243613591 https://twitter.com/DrJillStein/status/1725911405243613591

    To be fair, I was a Meta employee with inadvertent "duplicate" accounts, both I didn't use. One used an email domain I no longer had access to. The other worked for a bit but then instantly self-disabled when viewing 2FA options. It was eventually straightened out, but it took several tries to get it right.

Jill Stein is a former presidential candidate and outspoken critic of Israel's ongoing war/genocide in Gaza. She is far from the only one having her account banned ostensibly for speaking out against the war.

Regular, less high-profile users, report having their accounts meddled with for posting about Palestine.

  Has she used the word, "genocide" to describe Israel's actions?
  - capableweb 3y ago
    Is it forbidden to remind people that Israel has repeatedly massacred Arabs, because they're Arabs? Is it also forbidden to talk about Arabs have done the same to Jews? Is it forbidden if you mention one but not the other?

Basically, if you speak up for ordinary Palestinians or criticise Israel you're shouted down as a supporter of terrorists, an anti-semite or both. The tragedy is that Hamas is winning the perceptions war due to Israeli overreaction and the inability of the West to influence Bibi's fairly extreme right wing government which seems to be driven mostly by desperate self-preservation politics. I really don't care for Stein's politics otherwise though.

  Yep. Question the official line with nuance and be hellbanned without any recourse. Ismail Haniyeh and Itamar Ben-Gvir are more or less the same strand of far-right hate but with different flavors of religious justifications on different sides. Jill Stein pops up every POTUS election but without a track record of holding office anywhere besides once in Lexington, MA. I seriously doubt she's in favor of violent political extremism of either settlers or Hamas. Someone at Meta should file an Oops because she seems an overall decent person.
