Forwarded from 🇵🇸 Automated Apartheid in Palestine
🇵🇸 Here’s how a collective of tech professionals shut down the Israeli army’s extortion website — twice | Mondoweiss
An international collective called The Zionism Observer, took down an IDF extortion website and reverse-engineered its evacuation map website. And it was easier than you might think.
In May this year, as part of its psychological torture campaign on the Palestinians of Gaza, Israel’s army rained down yet another batch of leaflets on the besieged population of Gaza. The leaflets stood out for many reasons, but most of all for the extortion website associated with them.
The Zionism Observer collective, made up of software developers, cartographers, translators, and archivists, traced the website’s registrar to NameCheap and the hosting service to Webflow. They immediately lodged a complaint with both companies.
Webflow removed the IDF’s extortion website within 24 hours.
