Israel's Channel 14 faces accusations of promoting genocidal discourse against Palestinians. Its audience grows as it spreads violent rhetoric, including calls for the annihilation of Gaza. Three Israeli NGOs gathered evidence and filed a petition with the Supreme Court, as revealed by Le Monde.
How technology amplifies mass disinformation 📡
The rise of Channel 14 relies on social media algorithms that prioritize polarizing content. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok recommend these extreme discourses, multiplying their reach. Meanwhile, automated moderation tools fail to detect calls for violence, allowing hate narratives to go viral without effective filters.
Audience up, ethics down 📉
Channel 14 has discovered the modern success manual: if ethics get in the way, remove them. Its strategy resembles a YouTuber who sets a forest on fire to get views. In the end, ratings go up, the UN complains, and the hosts ask for a raise due to the stress of so much hatred.
