    Misinformation and Division: The Significance of Policy Changes in Social Media Companies
    In recent months, the Meta corporation announced policy changes, including turning the number of “shares” into the main criteria of worth for further exposure, eliminating the fact checking system on Facebook and Instagram (as already happened on X), and raising the filtering threshold of its content moderation algorithms. These changes, combined with the noticeable way leading social media players are drawing closer to the Trump administration, pose a challenge to Israel’s national security at both the domestic and international levels. Israel should take action in various ways, including international cooperation, regulatory activity, and educational and informational measures to deal with the dangers inherent in these developments.
