Jordana Cutler is a former senior Israeli government official now working as a Meta ’s Israel policy chief.

She pushed for the censorship of Instagram accounts belonging to Students for Justice in Palestine .

Cutler joined Meta , which owns Facebook and Instagram , in 2016 after years of high-level work in the Israeli government.

The company employs no counterpart to Cutler ’s role solely representing Palestinian viewpoints.

A single policy lead oversees the entire Southeast Asian nations market, with a population of nearly 700 million .

This raises concerns among experts about a deep power imbalance inside Facebook when it comes to moderating discussion of a war that to date has killed at least 40,000 Gazans .

Meta’s head of global affairs is the former deputy prime minister of the U.K. Cutler is not the first or only prominent figure within Meta to help foster relations between the company and governments.

As recently as February 2023 , Cutler 's name was floated as a possible next head of the Israeli Strategic Affairs Ministry , a government propaganda office.
