CHARGE: FACEBOOK’S APPALLING BIGOTRY
Charge: Facebook Pages Spew Blood Libels, Attack Jews and Aborigines, Mock Anne Frank
The Jewish Press
There is no scientific equation to determine what is hatred, but a Facebook picture of a smiling Anne Frank surrounded by the caption, “What’s that burning? Oh it’s my family” is an easy one. So is a Facebook picture of a baby on a scale emblazoned with a Jewish Star, where the bottom of the scale is a meat grinder with raw ground meat (presumably, a baby’s) oozing out.
Is there any doubt in your mind that those images constitute hate speech (one of the official categories for removal under Facebook’s Terms of Service) and should be removed from Facebook? That was the basis for the complaints filed by the Online Hate Prevention Institute last month.
Facebook disagreed. The pictures remain up.
