Freedom of speech should be allowed, not the spreading of false information in order to put down a particular group. Its clear that they who deny something in history that obviously did happen are not innocently voicing their “opinion.” they have an obvious evil intent to spread lies and hate. Any idiot can see that.

You know, I really think that our kids’ history books should continue to print that whites discovered America, not the Native Americans.
None of it is true, but what the hey? At least I as the author am able to express myself. My opinion is more important than any truth. After all, It’s only the minds of our innocent youth that we are messing with. Oh, and while I’m at it, I’m going to
write that whites were never slaveholders and that the holocaust never happened…that’ll really mess them up.

Holocaust Deniers have suffered greatly from exposing themselves on the Internet. This has been true from the early days of alt.revisionism on Usenet. The more exposure they get, the more their lies are revealed for what they are.

I can understand why many people would vehemently disagree and want to see Holocaust Deniers banned from Facebook. But I cannot understand the many vicious attacks on Zuckerberg and the company. As a long-time net.idiot and troll, I’ve had plenty of fun mocking Facebook, but in this serious case I think they deserve support for taking the right stand, a stand which is ultimately AGAINST Holocaust Deniers and AGAINST their true goal of bringing the Third Reich back to power.

“…Jews, Muslims, Christians etc. all have the same mentality as Racists.” – That’s a pretty GROSS generalization! Do you know all Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc.? Maybe it is you who needs to open not just your eyes but also your mind, and look at the big picture.

You apparently live your own universe and have know concept of truth, or reality for that matter! Not that you will listen to reason – you’ve already chosen your fantasy world.

Who is going to define hate speech??? I know of a high school principal who silenced a student singing a Christmas carol in the hall, calling the song “hate speech”. We must be careful about trying to limit the 1st Amendment! The biggest problem I see with most people under the age of 60, is that many of them tend to be relativists, and have no concept of truth.

For those of us in the UK and Europe, this is an irony that shouldn’t be ignored, but it affects Americans as well..

From the 4th to the 7th of June across Continental Europe, we went to the polls for seats at the European parliament in Strasbourg, during this Thu-Sun period, on June 6th we commemorated the 65th anniversary of D-Day, which was one of the final major offensives to defeat Nazi-occupied Europe.

Aside from what the local politicians have been up to, it’s the likes of the facebook holocaust deniers (that spew unbelievable levels of bile) that the younger and less educated generation of voters today voted for the right wing candidates and when the results came in, the far right political parties got seats.

So don’t say politics has nothing to do with it, because at the end of the day, it affects us all when the claims and uses of free speech are abused like this and given the option to curtail them, that didn’t happen!

Facebook HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO REMOVE THIS CONTENT and should not need to defend itself for free speech.

as voltaire said, “i hate what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it”

Um, no he did not say that (and even if he did say it, he would have used better spelling LOL). This must be one of the most misquoted lines on the planet: see http://www.clas...om/voltaire.htm for the real words he used.
