Remarks On Facebook

As far as I am concerned, this is the biggest story on the Internet in recent times. It’s all about the comments Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, made to Kara Swisher, Founder of Recode, a popular tech news site, in an interview earlier this week.

Zuckerberg said, while he finds anyone who denies that the Holocaust ever happened, “deeply offensive,” he doesn’t believe that such content should be blocked from Facebook.

His remarks provoked a lot of criticism from the Jewish community, Facebook users, the media, and the general public. Zuckerberg, who is Jewish,

said “offensive content isn’t necessarily banned unless it is to organize harm or attack someone.”

I want as many of you to read or listen to Zuckerberg’s interview with Recode, and then read the follow up stories from the Washington Post, USA Today, CNN and the New York Times.

I am interested in your opinion. Click on the links below.
