I always wondered why someone who had a "holocaust" committed on them would turn around and do it to someone else.
Removing lies such as conspiracy theories (for instance about the holocaust) makes sense. These are clearly misinformation.
But we should be careful. What if Saudi Arabia or China want to force their strict laws on social media?
Some things are debatable. For instance criticizing immigration is normal but some people consider it racist.
So that is a dangerous road to censorship.
If Germany wants less anti-immigration comments then it should stop immigration and stop ignoring the problems of its own people who suffer from the results.
Conspiracy is crime, not a theory.
If the holocaust was true, we'd be allowed to talk about it.
You can do all the research you want but arguing that the Holocaust did not happen in the face of all the hard evidence and the records and files and testimony is clearly antisemitism in a silk glove. The Germans know what they did to the Jews, gypsies, Slavs, etc. between 1939 and 1945 and they take full responsibility for it, unlike the demented Trotskyites, Islamists, Skinheads and their fellow travelers.
Exactly.
The United States of America defends freedom.
Germany defends the truth
You sir, are a freaking idiot!!!!!!!!
No,Germany defends lies as is proved by it's Stalinist censorship laws.
No, it defends truth and conformity to state values via censorship laws.
It is a German tradition.
Who cares what this loathsome left wing bureaucrat wants? Germany no longer matters in the world. The FRG is not a sovereign country but an artificial construct, created in 1949 as a government mechanism for the occupying allied powers. Germany has not been properly sovereign since May 23rd, 1945.
If it wanted to remain properly sovereign, it should not have lost the war.
Once again,You sir, are a freaking idiot!!!!!
Bravo Germany!!!
Someone back in 1934 shut down freedom of speech in Germany; you must love him.
Very weak argument. Along with freedom of speech comes responsibility. Germany considers hate speech a crime especially when used during public protests etc ( read the article) Germany has decided that Holocaust denial is hate speech that is their purgative particularly because it is the country that was responsible not just for starting WWII which effected all of Europe and many other countries , loss of millions of lives , the worst genocides in modern history , trying to rid Europe of all Jews by mass murder, torture and concentration camps, and Jews were not the only people who suffered the same fate but Jews was is by far his target.
And Facebook should have better standards, take more responsibility hate speech not just comments, but Pages that that are devoted to denial .
Love him? Hardly he murdered almost most of my family and my mother sent several years in Auschwitz . You may not agree with their decision to consider it a crime, but they do.
You are the one with the weak argument. Lies are easy to refute and do not need to be outlawed.
The Jewish holocaust is not unique, the Soviets did the same thing to the Ukrainians ten years earlier and the Ottomans did the same thing to the Armenians in WWI. And everyone seems to forget about the actual genocide of the Native Americans, over 90% of their population was wiped out. Does the US arrest people who say that the killing of the Native American's didn't happen? No, they don't; they don't have to.
Indeed. And the Jewish Holocaust, by its very nature, has drawn attention to all the other Holocausts in world history.
yes the question of "misplaced tolerance" must be examined.
when will the germans realize that they must physically segregate this threat, freedom of speech. and give them a walled ghetto in which to live, with perhaps the military/police aiding with special attention to their papers and controlling their food and work?
didn't the germans do this already and who is doing it now?
FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Liar. What to do? Shove it up your….
Hmm I don't know.That doesn't seem hygienic.
Nõt a single word of what your claims is the process of a Bris ( and I know I have a son) is either inaccurate or true.
SO your hygiene is not my concern , however your false claims are.
Reported to SPLC for anti-semitism.Expect Mossad any minute now.
Mossad doesn't give a da mn about you,

Join the Majority: Vote for Equality
I must say, I really hate the #lovewins thing, I mean we can't get married to dogs or mentally retarded children yet.
Yeah, the NAZIS didn't let people marry dogs or retarded children either!
I think it's so great how far Progessivism has come in the past 15 years. Maybe in a few months we can destigmatize pedosexuality!
Well it is 2015 after all.Can you imagine if we waited for that until 2016???Just ughhh, fu*king backwards rethuglikkkans, holding the Love back.
So much this.
It would be a true gift from g-d if pedosexuals could express love freely. Unfortunately bigoted white conservatives continue to opress pedosexuals.
Love knows no age!
Need 2 more Jews in the Supreme Court and finally you'll have your rights.
My great grandfather, who suffered in the Tsars army during the revolution, and in Jozef Pilsudski's cavalry against the Bolsheviks...would have tea with German officers and tell war stories. Pleasant bunch. I guess great grandpa should be arrested for bad thoughts.
Yes your great grandpa was a mega-bigot. He should have embraced Trotskyist diversity and realized that we're all equal through Communism. You, however, can make up for it by embracing the destructive egalitarian flavor of the this month, Feminism.
May Mossad take him and drag him into his well-deserved grave.
Good. My parents also escaped the Shoah, unfortunately they were both lampshades already, so when they decided to have kids they all came out as lampshades either. That's why we deserve a monthly pension from Germany - we're all damned to doing nothing but sit on a desk and shine. It's a bit boring. We're going to sue Germany to pay for our poledancing shiksas. What else can a lampshade do?
