Al-Rifai added that the Twitter campaign will be the first step against Facebook's actions. The coming days will witness many field events depending on the size of the interaction with tomorrow's campaign, including moving in international forums and networking with international organizations and organizations concerned with freedom of opinion and expression. .
One of the main objectives of the campaign is to pressure the Facebook administration not to respond to the demands of the occupation, to respect the Palestinian content, not to target it, and to raise awareness among Palestinians and Arabs against Facebook's new measures against them.
