The Palestinian digital rights watchdog Sada Social documented 911 digital violations targeting Palestinian content during June 2026, a figure the center says reflects a continued escalation of restrictions on Palestinian voices online, particularly against women, journalists, and media institutions.
According to the center’s monthly report, 891 of the recorded violations were carried out by individual social media users, ranging from hate speech and incitement to coordinated harassment campaigns and disinformation. The remaining 20 violations were direct actions taken by the platforms themselves, including content removal, restriction of visibility, and account suspensions.
The report identified Telegram as the platform with the highest number of user-driven violations, recording 570 cases, followed by X (formerly Twitter) with 230 cases and Facebook with 64. The remaining 27 cases were spread across other platforms. Hate speech and verbal abuse made up the largest share of user violations, accounting for 725 cases in total.
Women were among the most heavily targeted groups, with the center documenting 235 violations against female journalists, activists, and ordinary users — the highest monthly total recorded since the beginning of the year. Media workers and institutions were also singled out, with 98 violations recorded against journalists and media outlets, of which 69 targeted female journalists specifically, representing more than 70 percent of all violations against media professionals that month.
Sada Social called for stronger digital protection mechanisms for Palestinian users and urged serious pressure on global technology companies to end policies that restrict Palestinian content, calling for a more equitable and secure digital environment for Palestinian voices.
