No Facebook, you don't get to use this as a PR win. This is a bare minimum which should've been done a long time ago. This isn't a free speech issue. Anybody

This is a bare minimum which should've been done a long time ago.
This isn't a free speech issue. Anybody can deny the holocaust, but Facebook should not be profiting from the propagation of fringe and deeply offensive views. There is no justification for doing so.
Facebook is not a library and it is not a repository of well-written, peer-reviewed ideas and thoughts. It's a machine designed to profit from outrage and polarisation.
- whateveracct 6y ago> This is a bare minimum which should've been done a long time ago. Agreed. Video games forums in the '00s could do this - why did it take FB so long? To be fair, Holocaust denial & related ideology was more universally hated back then. It's managed to rebrand as of late into mere contrarianism.
- maxehmookau 6y agoThe fact that HN is a community where my comment has been downvoted is utterly terrifying. I’m not sure I belong in this community.
