A better faith interpretation is that people are free to criticize Israel and Zionism on Meta, just not using racist tropes.
- Ben Shapiro excuses antisemitic remarks by Ann Coulter because she's pro-Israel [1];
- ADL defends Elon Musk for making the Nazi salute (twice) on stage [2]
- We brutalized people with the police for organizing peaceful protests to say "maybe we shouldn't bomb children" or to get their respective universities to divest their endowments from the state doing the bombing;
- We went so far as trying to deport legal permanent residents for organizing said peaceful protests (ie Mahmoud Khalil); and
- The IHRA definition of antisemitism includes criticisms of the state of Israel.

We can only judge big tech company policy based on its declaration or application. So far I see no supported criticisms of either, though I am open to them.
But it would be a mistake to single out Meta here. All these big tech companies move in lockstep with US foreign policy to appease the administration to get approvals for mergers, to end investigations and antitrust suits, to get government contracts and so on.
