German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe's refugee crisis.
On the sidelines of a United Nations luncheon on Saturday, Merkel was caught on a hot mic pressing Zuckerberg about social media posts about the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany, the publication reported.
The Facebook CEO was overheard responding that "we need to do some work" on curtailing anti-immigrant posts about the refugee crisis. "Are you working on this?" Merkel asked in English, to which Zuckerberg replied in the affirmative before the transmission was disrupted.
In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have washed up on Europe's shores, seeking asylum from the raging civil war in their homeland. As Europe's largest economy, Germany has sheltered the majority of them, leading to widespread objections within the country.
Earlier this month, Facebook vowed to clean up what it deemed was racist content on the German version of its website. At the time, the social network said it would partner with a non profit group to oversee hate postings.

Angela Merkel then ask facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, to CENSOR Anti Immigration posts
When Leftist cannot win a debates on facts and logic, then they censor you.
The news here isn’t that Merkel asked Zuckerberg to censor anti-immigration posts on Facebook. It’s that Zuckerberg agreed to do it.
If Obama was a white German woman...
While facebook advertised as a way to stay connected to friends through out your life and meet new ones.
Now Zuckerberg wants to control the Establishment narrative.

I posted a copy of the article on my fb page. :-)
The German people will not allow it this time, I hope.
does anyone think facebook or twitter or crowdfunding sites or anything like them are not totally liberal? or run by liberals?
There needs to be an alternative to Facebook. I have a Facebook page to keep in touch with relatives and family, but no way do I constantly post about mundane crap like going #2.
did you see this film? if so what did you think?
Somebody at VW must have reset Merkel’s cognition systems to a lower tolerance.
Censorship and Statism...Zuckerberg and Merkel, it figures.
Perhaps Merkel can resurrect the Stasi and direct it German patriots.
Is that a picture of the young Merkel?
I saw “The Lives of Others” and I thought it was a FANTASTIC film, one of my favorites.
I would highly, highly recommend it.
No car chases, and almost no boobs, so it’s a thinking man’s movie with a slow start.
But it’s always highly meaningful and the suspense is very, very dramatic.
NOT TO BE MISSED.
The woman in the East German uniform is a young Merkel, yes.
i liked it ‘too.
i think it proves the dumbest thing people can ever say is “it can never happen in my country”.
Comments about stopping the invasion of your country = “hate postings”.
The pimple-faced weasel (Suckerberg) is a disgrace to the human race.
