Does anyone remember when Facebook defended their decision not to ban alt-right and Nazi persons or groups based on the whole freedom of speech thing? Now they're bending over and taking it from not only the US government but foreign governments as well.

Makes one wonder how much those alt-right (let's say) activists will keep using Facebook knowing it's at the beck and call of the Israeli government.

More than likely they will migrate to another more amenable venue. Or create one.

The problem is likely to step in when Israel starts going after anyone that criticizes the Israeli government...
That country has a long history of labeling anyone (who is critical of the decades old power hungry sychophantic tendencies that Israel exacts across the Middle-East) as antisemites... Even, and especially in the absence of anything critical of Judaism.

The momentum that the kind of hatchet jobs this article is discussing, should be expected to become an attack on all kinds of critics.

If they could delete my account at the same time, that'd be great.

Jason ON Well if Israel gets Facebook to delete altright sites...

I think Google and YouTube deserve more criticism. There is plenty of Altright /anti-Semitic accounts.
And I don't mean criticism of Isreali Right Nationalism. I mean NeoNazis or the Coded versions.

Jason ON I fucking despise Glenn Greenwald.

He's histrionic, hysterical, cherry picks data and leads with Ideology.. in this case AntiAmericanism and Putin Cocksucking.

This is fucking disgusting!! Even worse from a Gay Man. He has No Solidarity.

”But none of that dilutes how disturbing and dangerous Facebook’s rationale for its deletion of his accounts is."

Bullshit. He's conducting a Genocide against Gays!!

Glenn is more "disturbed" Kadyrovs account is deleted, than the Gay people he's massacring.

"A Facebook spokesperson told the New York Times that the company deleted these accounts not because Kadyrov is a mass murderer and tyrant, but that “Mr. Kadyrov’s accounts were deactivated because he had just been added to a United States sanctions list and that the company was legally obligated to act.”

And WTF do you think he's on that Sanction list?!

What an Asshole.

Notice how Glenn obfuscates Kadyrovs current ongoing crimes, just calling him a "mass murderer" . A label Glenn Greenwald equally applied to Obama and Hillary.

Glenn Greenwald can take his phone sanctimony and fuck himself.
Kadyrovs crimes should not be buried as irrelevant, in an article about supposed censoring of non violent activists.

Adam Black I think you're stuck on the small picture. Go back and read the article with the big picture in mind and see if that changes your view.
