Belief in political correctness and its use in daily life has occupied the interest of many researchers recently, especially with its spread and penetration in various areas of life. Although the concept of political correctness appears to be benevolent, which is represented in defending the rights of minorities, what lies within is extremism, bias, and the silencing of those who oppose, criticize, or even express their opinion. This study mainly aims to know the repercussions of political correctness in social media towards the Palestinian content, from the point of view of Arab Muslim youth who are active on social media. To achieve the objective of the study, the analytical survey method will be followed, and the questionnaire tool will be used on a random sample of Arab Muslim youth active on social media platforms. The study assumes that there are repercussions of political correctness on the Palestinian content on social media platforms, and it also assumes that there is a restriction of Palestinian content on social media that increases and decreases in line with the periods of escalation between the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation.
