Sudanese producer defying censorship reaches millions on social media
A Sudanese film producer defied censorship on Palestinian content on social media by creatively evading algorithms.
Due to restrictions placed on mentioning “Gaza” or “Palestine” because of Israeli pressure, Amjad Al Nour utilized ambiguous language and mixed signals to circumvent detection.
He has been raising awareness about Gaza’s plight since 2009, citing the lack of discourse.
Al Jazeera, where Al Nour works, faced Israeli crackdowns, exemplified by recent legislation allowing closure of its offices.
Al Nour criticized US attempts to ban TikTok, attributing it to widespread advocacy for Palestinian rights on the platform.
Despite challenges, content highlighting Palestine proliferates online.
Al Nour’s innovative approach underscores the resilience of voices striving for Palestinian visibility amid geopolitical pressures.
