Facebook to remove content denying the Holocaust

Facebook announced today that it would remove content denying or distorting the Holocaust from its platform after facing years of pressure on the issue.

The company will begin directing users that search for terms associated with the Holocaust to credible information from third-party sources later this year.

Facebook has long faced pressure to take action against the bevy of conspiracy theories diminishing or denying the killing of 6 million Jews by Nazis.

Content that praised the Holocaust was previously banned.

"But with rising anti-Semitism, we're expanding our policy to prohibit any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust as well," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in blog post on Monday.

Zuckerberg had come under intense scrutiny in 2018 for defending the right of Holocaust deniers to post on his platform.

The world we live in. Of course it happened. Facebook is a business so freedom of speech doesn't come into play.

Yet it is worrisome when a world entity (again business) decides to limit what is shown...where are the boundaries and who decides what is or isn't right. Yes, holocaust happened...but the President saying truths which the other side says it's not.

Hmmmmmm....

Truth Tellers are trying to present the fact that the Nazis were themselves Jewish and were financed by Jewish bankers in London and New York. It was elitist Jews murdering impure bloodlines if Jews.

Furthermore there weren’t 6 million Jews in all of Europe at the time of the war. The Satanist clinging to the magic 6 number were again retelling a lie.

At this time educated people know WWII was instigated to scare European Jews into going to the desert to live (Israel). They did not want to go voluntarily, so they were coerced into leaving their European homelands to settle in the land of the Palestinian People (real Semites).

Thank you

Marxist educated people you mean 8;03. So you keep on believing your handlers and ignore FACTS. GO IT!!

Bolsheviks replaced the Christian religion with a materialistic atheism. Church property was confiscated or destroyed.

Free speech and free press were prohibited. Private property was abolished.

Centralizing power, Vladimir Lenin explained:

“The goal of socialism is communism.”
