Facebook Gets Involved in Mideast Drama

There has been an ongoing debate about whether or not Palestine should be considered a network on Facebook. Just last week at South by Southwest, one audience member questioned Mark Zuckerberg about the lack of a Palestinian network. He replied that Facebook acknowledges territories based on what the United States considers territories. Since then, Palenstine mysteriously appeared as a network and some West Bank Jewish settlements are up in arms about their hometown being automatically listed as “Palestine.”
