“UPDATE: A Facebook representative told Breitbart News that “a block was incorrectly put on [Ms. Geller’s] account on April 25 after a post was mistakenly identified to violate our Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy because it included ‘God Bless Hitler’ and we don’t allow praise for hate figures. We removed the block the next day as soon as we identified that Ms. Geller was raising awareness about this content, which we do allow.”
Original Story starts here:
Days after Facebook, along with Google and Twitter, refused to attend a congressional hearing on social media censorship, the social network banned the account of author and free speech activist Pamela Geller for 30 days after she posted an article about Muslim anti-Semitism in Germany.
Geller’s article said that “thanks to the hijrah” [Jihad by immigration] “Islamic antisemitism will drive the Jews out of Europe, succeeding in achieving Hitler’s dream — a judenrein Europe.”
The rest of the post featured an Associated Press article about a German Jewish leader advising Jews in the country to avoid wearing skullcaps in cities due to anti-Semitic attacks in the country.

Imagine Diamond & Silk and Pamela Geller doing cameo appearances on Roseanne.
Nationalize Facebook.
There’s an idea!
Nationalize Facebook.

Shut it down and Google as well.

Thanks upchuck.
Why don’t conservatives do what liberals do and boycott these businesses?
Diamond and Silk and Ms Geller should post something glowing about Hillary and see if it gets blocked.
It appears FB has people monitoring certain posters. I don’t believe the blocking is because of certain algorithms.
Tolerance and truth are not values of the Left.
“Shut it down and Google as well.”
How would the CIA, NSA ect.... continue to function?
We have an unholy alliance based on moloch. One way that this ends, and it will!
Fuckerberg said that he employed 10,000 - 15,000 people that do nothing but monitor content. I find that extremely unlikely but if there are any humans scanning each and every post on FB, there must be some AI doing pre-screening. The humans are most likely young and probably live on the coasts. That means they leftists, period ... and they have the same tolerance for conservative ideas as a black mamba has for getting stepped upon.
I’ll say it again, these “errors” go in only one direction.
I’ll leave the debate of whether they are a “publisher” or a “host” to others.
But let’s say it is decided that they must be less censorious of conservative viewpoints. At that point, if these “errors” continue to go only in the same direction, the remedy must be to get rid of these simplistic “algorithms” and start doing it by hand. And if that means they have to hire 100,000 people and their profits are cut by 90%, that’s a cost of their “new” business model.
FACEBOOK is evil. I am glad to be out of it
I have always believed that evil must be fought — at least sometimes....

You mean she complained loudly to all others who reposted and reposted the block while terrorists and democrats are not blocked.
