Since nobody here has actually read the article, it states that the reason the posts were taken down was "prohibits incitement to terrorism praise for acts of terrorism and identification or support of terror organizations." This type of speech (incitement) is illegal in the United States and support is very borderline depending on the type and meaning of "support". Now, if the reason doesnt match the actual content removed that should definitely be addressed which is your point, but I think that the reason is valid.

You can see some examples here (linked in the OP): https://www.hrw.org/report/2023/12/21/metas-broken-promises/...

On the one hand there are comments from users that want to “turn Gaza into a parking lot” or worse and were not removed because they don’t violate the community guidelines.

On the other hand there are people posting educational explainers about Palestinian human rights censored under hate speech or dangerous individuals rules.
