Facebook caught up in Holocaust controversy
Facebook so far has banned two Holocaust denial groups, but has left three open. Facebook spokesperson Brian Schnitt released a statement to ABC saying, "the mere statement of denying the Holocaust is not a violation of our terms."
The Twitterverse is buzzing about the issue, with many criticizing Facebook:
Jnobianchi (New York, N.Y.) Via @scrapsflippy : breast feeding = bad; denying the holocaust happened = good. Stay classy, Facebook http://tinyurl.com/qpg5rt
israfran (Tel Aviv, Israel) What a shame!! Facebook Remains Stubbornly Proud Of Position On Holocaust Denial http://tcrn.ch/1jD by @arrington
SamGliksman (Los Angeles, Calif.) Let Facebook know you expect them to remove anti-semitic Holocaust denial pages. Here is how: http://tinyurl.com/qbshvf
adschwartz (Scottsdale, Ariz.) Seems this is a good start but there is still more to be done. RT @jtanews Facebook removes two Holocaust denial sites http://bit.ly/aDKsD
frugalfreebies (Ontario, Canada) My baby pic was considered objectional & removed, but Denying the Holocaust groups OK with Facebook? http://bit.ly/4Qe8R
DavidSpinks (New York, N.Y.) Interesting debate RT @jacobm: looks like facebook doesn't want to talk about any more holocaust issues for now, sad, http://snurl.com/hvnbz
U.S. soldier fires on fellow troops in Iraq
Some Twitterers express concern for stress on U.S. soldiers.
granolajoe (Denver, Co.) The Dangers of Soldier Stress: U.S. Soldier Kills Fellow Troops in Iraq [via Miranda622] http://www.razoo.com/articles/Soldier-ViolenceWhile other Twitterers criticize the unruly assault.
jayninedee (Philadelphia, Pa.) WTF? Anybody else hear about this? US soldier kills 5 fellow soldiers in a random attack in Iraq http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/05/12/iraq.soldiers.killed/inde...
Additional criticism for U.S. forces continues to prevail.
Klearchos (Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria) "Suspected U.S. drone attack kills 9 in Pakistan", "U.S. soldier kills 5 comrades in Iraq".. Isn't there any TAMIFLU against US Forces?
josephchez (Undisclosed) US soldier on his 3rd tour in Iraq turns on his own side and kills. Battle fatigue or decrepit Middle East policy? Pakistan/india next.
