After years of allowing Holocaust denial to spread on its platform, Facebook today announced it will finally remove "any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust."
"Today’s announcement marks another step in our effort to fight hate on our services," Monika Bickert, VP of Content Policy at Facebook, said in a post on the company's press site. "Our decision is supported by the well-documented rise in anti-Semitism globally and the alarming level of ignorance about the Holocaust, especially among young people. According to a recent survey of adults in the US aged 18-39, almost a quarter said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, that it had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure."
