Echoicide: Who decides which truths survive in Gaza?

During the three-day offensive on Gaza in October 2023, Palestinian journalists turned to social media to document the atrocities faced by their people. Human Rights Watch reported that images of Palestinian civilians killed or injured were removed by Instagram, illustrating a phenomenon called Echoicide, where the reach of messages is weakened. Palestinian journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has played a key role in sharing firsthand information about the situation in Gaza, but his content has also been affected by restrictions on social media platforms.
