  •  Facebook bans Holocaust denial, distortion posts
yesterday


Facebook is banning posts that deny or distort the Holocaust and will start directing people to authoritative sources if they search for information about the Nazi genocide
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new policy Monday, the latest attempt by the company to take action against conspiracy theories and misinformation ahead of the U.S. presidential election three weeks away.

FACEBOOK ĆE ZABRANITI VIJESTI KOJE NEGIRAJU ILI ISKRIVLJAVAJU HOLOKAUST I UPUTITI ĆE LJUDE NA VJERODOSTOJNE IZVORE INFORMACIJA O NACISTIČKOM GENOCIDU.
 
Mark Zuckenberg, facebook vlasnik je objavio u ponedjeljak novu politiku, posljendnji pokušaj kompanije da poduzme akcije protiv teorija zavjere i krivih informacija pred US predsjedničke izbore koji će biti za tri tjedna. Odluka je došla nakon pritiska osoba koje su preživjele Holokaust u cijelom svijetu koje su podigle glas i počele kampanju protiv Zuckenberga početkom ovog ljeta.  Tražilo se od njega da djeluje da se maknu vijesti  koje negiraju Holokaust sa socijalnih medija.

Coordinated by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the #NoDenyingIt campaign used Facebook itself to make the survivors’ entreaties to Zuckerberg heard, posting one video per day urging him to remove Holocaust-denying groups, pages and posts as hate speech.

Facebook said Monday that the new policy “is supported by the well-documented rise in anti-Semitism globally and the alarming level of ignorance about the Holocaust, especially among young people.” Surveys have shown some younger Americans believe the Holocaust was a myth or has been exaggerated.

...Zuckerberg said in a blog post Monday that he believes the new policy strikes the “right balance” in drawing the lines between what is and isn’t acceptable speech.

The Claims Conference on Monday said it welcomed Zuckerberg’s changed approach and the company’s decision to take action after its campaign of survivor testimonials.

“It’s a very important statement and it’s a building block toward ensuring that this sort of anti-Semitism is not amplified,” said Greg Schneider, the group’s executive vice president.....

The group on Sunday posted its 75th video from a Holocaust survivor appealing directly to Zuckerberg. Fred Kurz, an American who was born in Austria in 1937, described losing both of his parents in concentration camps.

Facebook said Monday it would immediately begin removing Holocaust denial posts from Facebook and Instagram, which it owns, but it could take some time to train the company’s technical systems and human moderators to enforce it on a global scale.

“Facebook is showing that it recognizes Holocaust denial for what it truly is — a form of antisemitism and therefore hate speech,” Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, said in a prepared statement.

Yad Vashem, Israel’s national Holocaust memorial, said it supports Facebook’s new initiative to direct its users to “credible and fact-based” information about the Holocaust, such as the memorial’s website. ..
