Policies Of Shadow Banning And Content Moderation On Global Platforms As An Instrument Of Directed International Political Communication: Arabic Political Content As A Case Study
Authors : Belkacemi Ali .
Abstract
This study examines global platforms' restriction of Arabic political content during crises, functioning as geopolitical tools for the Western center to maintain hegemony. Utilizing a descriptive-survey method on Arab academic and media elites, the findings reveal a strategic shift toward "silent algorithmic engineering" via covert censorship. These programmatic mechanisms quietly isolate Arab narratives within digital echo chambers, causing a total normative collapse of "freedom of expression" slogans. Ultimately, the study validates the core tenets of "Digital Imperialism," emphasizing the urgent imperative of developing sovereign Arab digital infrastructures to safeguard regional epistemic autonomy.
