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.

Thanks
I believe there are,they just are not touted by the liberal msm or paparazzi.
Seriously, bro, that film is AWESOME.
You just gotta see it.
How shocking and sad that so many scenes in that movie now apply to our USA..!
:(
Not to quibble but they look Indian to me.
They seem like nice fellas.
Now we know, instinctively, that is not true but if the silent majority continues to hide in their houses (while they still have them) and quake in fear at their name calling and bullying then nothing will be done to stop this. As it is, it is going to take huge political will and bravery to save Europe.
Wolfgang Schäuble might be a good choice, he’s immensely popular in Germany.
I’d take the Swedish story with a pinch of salt, I think Swedes aren’t happy. How can they be happy that Malmo is now the second rape capital of the world and that there are hundreds of Muslim Ghettoes that are even no-go areas for the police.
The silent majority have to take the bull by the horns. There was another massive anti-immigration demonstration in Germany today, this one in Berlin.
Are they Indian? If they are, it’s the same as African savages, are these Indian savages like us? Like people of civilised nations? No. The Leftists are insane when they say that all people are the same.
Yes, that’s a really good film!
I haven’t watched “Mostly Martha”, I’ll put it on my list, thanks ;)
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. He looks like another globalist insider/NWO lackey. He's called for global taxes in the past.
That's their famous move. Rearrange the deck chairs and put a different puppet in. Maybe throw a bone here or there to make it look like change meanwhile the agenda marches on.
The bottom line. Euros need someone NOT from the elites circles. They also need a huge paradigm shift in thinking. Discomfort is coming. Whether that is next week or in three years, it is coming. That means vacations and small aesthetic pleasures they hold so dear are gonna have to take a back seat to...Oh, I dunno --surviving. It is going to come to that anyway, do they really think their new "neighbors" are going to pay for their leisure and old age?
