Facebook reverses stance on Holocaust denial, will ban it now

[JonLP24]

Facebook announced Monday it will now ban content that "denies or distorts the Holocaust," reversing its earlier policy.

In a 2018 podcast interview, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook didn't remove Holocaust-denying content because it must allow for the possibility that users are making unintentional mistakes. "I don't think that they're intentionally getting it wrong," Zuckerberg said of users who shared that type of content.

In announcing the change, Facebook said: "Our decision is supported by the well-documented rise in anti-Semitism globally and the alarming level of ignorance about the Holocaust, especially among young people."

It cited a recent survey in which nearly 25% of American adults ages 18 to 39 said they believed the Holocaust was a myth or exaggerated or weren't sure.

3. Zuckerfuck* and Farcebook* have been on the wrong side since Farcebook* began...

"Our decision is supported by the well-documented rise in anti-Semitism globally and the alarming level of ignorance about the Holocaust, especially among young people." Yeah, the well documented rise in hatred and violence THAT. YOUR. PLATFORM. FACILITATED.

I have DELETED my Farcebook* account. Fuck you #MarkZuckerberg. You are a liar and a traitor, who willingly allowed American's private Farcebook* information to be used by Mercer*s Cambridge Analytica* in their quest to aid the Russians* in SELECTING @realDonaldTrump as POTUS.

4. Once again facebook allows evil to exist until it gets too public and might hurt the $.

5. They must be bored since they wiped out white supremacy and the Q cult

I have reported 3 FB pages within the last week for carrying the Q logo and being full of NOTHING but Q related lies. FB removed NONE OF THEM. I reported 2 pages for blatantly racists posts, one was even using a lynched black man as an avatar. Nope, didn't go against their standards. Additionally I reported one page for using a picture of several whole decomposing fetus as their cover photo, they suggested I should block the person. BTW the last time I was banned it was for pointing out the words written above the Auschwitz gates. Apparently yelling "get a job" at homeless people is patriotic, but when you translate that to German you break a rule.
