Israel to Approve a Draconian “Facebook Law” to Deal with Hateful Content Online

While the 2016 US presidential election has resulted in a massive rift between the voters inside the United States, the misuse of social media platforms has caught attention by the governments everywhere. After Europe, Israel appears to be the next to come up with a “Facebook law” to deal with hateful content online.

This bill comes after several governments, including the US, have called on Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other tech giants to come up with effective mechanisms and tools to proactively block hateful content that could go anywhere from targeted trolling to misinformation campaigns and terrorist propaganda. However, Israel’s version appears to be draconian as it could be used to suppress dissenting voices that don’t align with the government’s policies.
