Consumers feel Facebook is only promoting content that is unfair and biased towards what’s happening in Gaza and one that is portraying Israel in a good light.

However, the netizens have had enough of this propaganda and so, they took to the Google Playstore app of Facebook to ensure that they play their part in bringing the app’s rating down. They have also openly commented on their reasons for downrating the app, which is Facebook’s support for Israeli terrorism.

Facebook’s long been accused of censoring content about Palestine (as well as on IG). Accounts have been suspended, videos (including from news orgs) have been hidden and posts have been taken down.

Many of them have also urged others to go to the Facebook app on the play store and give it 1-star to make its rating go down.

Kindly go to @AppStore or @GooglePlay store and give one-star rating to @Facebook and @instagram. Let’s do what we can do while sitting at out couches. Facebook is already at 3.8, Instagram needs our attention. pic.twitter.com/w70UUCdRMM
