For what it's worth, The Intercept has not been able to verify what this group is claiming.

>A SMALL GROUP of volunteers from Israel’s tech sector is working tirelessly to remove content it says doesn’t belong on platforms like Facebook and TikTok, tapping personal connections at those and other Big Tech companies to have posts deleted outside official channels, the project’s founder told The Intercept.

>The Intercept was unable to independently confirm that sympathetic workers at Big Tech firms are responding to the group’s complaints or verify that the group was behind the removal of the content it has taken credit for having deleted.

Although this is in the grand scheme of things hard to verify. Who is going to admit to that? To a news organisation?

People who don't agree with what their coworkers are doing and want to be whistleblowers.

Getting those people to reach out to you is a huge part of investigative journalism.

The people with power over the journalists' career and reputation are in this case the party they'd piss off by doing proper journalism. They're not gonna do it. It's indirectly the main reason why no one trusts journalists in general anymore. Nearly everything is consolidated under the same people and whatever isn't gets smeared and blacklisted.
