Ferras Hamad, who used to be an engineer working with Meta's machine learning team, has sued the company for firing him over his handling of Palestine-related Instagram posts.
According to Reuters, he is accusing the company of discrimination, wrongful termination and showing a pattern of bias against Palestinians. Hamad said he noted procedural irregularities on how the company handled restrictions on content from Palestinian Instagram personalities, which prevented them from appearing in feeds and searches.
