Itamar Ben-Gvir, chairman of Israel’s Otzma Yehudit political party, has reportedly filed a criminal complaint against Facebook, claiming that he has been wiretapped by the Big Tech giant.
The complaint was filed against two executives in the Facebook office in Tel Aviv — CEO Ad Soffer Teeni, and Jordana Cutler, the head of Public Policy. Ben-Gvir’s complaint came after it was reported that, in “a rare move undertaken by Facebook,” the WhatsApp accounts of least 30 people in Israel were blocked, according to the liberal site, Haaretz. One of those affected was Ayala Ben-Gvir, the wife of Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Benzi Gopstein, a “longtime ally” of Ben-Gvir and chairman of the far-right group, Lehava, according to The Jerusalem Post.
