Facebook bans Holocaust denial content

Still in your feelings because I schooled you in the other thread? Internet in Somalia is actually better than in the US. LOL

Liar the article does not say that.

Some residents of Somalia's capital have been experiencing a form of "culture shock" since fibre optic services launched over the last week, an internet provider has told the BBC.

"Any video or site just pops up... they're very excited about the speed," Somalia Wireless's Liban Egal says.

Until now access to the internet has been via dial-up or satellite links.

They don't even have it in their homes LOL;

People have been flocking to hotels and internet cafes to try out the fast service - some seeing video platforms like YouTube and social networking sites for the first time, our correspondent says.

Somalia is not a place for web addicts. Even in the capital, Mogadishu, coverage is patchy, expensive and unpredictable. Things are slightly better in the north, but further afield, and anywhere the al-Shabaab militant group holds sway, there is no internet at all.

All of which means that in the global league of internet access, Somalia is at the bottom, with fewer than 2% of its people regularly online.

This has unfortunate repercussions for locals. In Marka town, Lower Shabelle region, Anas Farah, 26, who ran a music studio, said he has been forced to shut his business because of lack of internet service.

Trying to compare maybe the worst chithole on the planet to the USA is hilarious. Do people still shoot at airliners there when they try land?

Just google Somali fast internet connection and you will see ...you can get it in your homes too and it's faster than US internet, which isn't saying much, your broadband infrastructure is garbage by even Somali standards...ours is improving, yours is tangibly declining

Eastern front was real but majority of what happened in Germany France etc was fake. There were villagers in Alsace who wasn't even aware there was a war. Also what logic does it make for an existential world war occuring, yet SWITZERLAND is neutral and untouched? LOL

Much of the world history is written by the Victor, and WW2 is the same. Most of it was written in the 1960s onwards.

Not disagreeing that bombs were dropped or that Dresden for eg was carpet bombed...but modern warfare is meant for tribal societies, not cosmopolitan cities and this is the truth.

It is also an established MAINSTREAM FACT that more bombs were dropped in Cambodia during the Vietnam war than all of WW2...Why? Only Allah knows but I think it has something to do with Angkor Wat

-I never meant Laos didn't pay a high price during the Vietnam war. But I just can't let you claim that mass destructions in Europe were fake or even exaggerated.
And by the way, China shed more blood during WW2 than Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia 2-3 decades later.

-I can assure you that Alsace suffered a lot during the conflict. Alsacians were really relieved when the Allies liberated their land in November 44, after four years of German annexation and occupation.

-Switzerland was decided to remain neutral during the conflict, along with Andorra, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Vatican.
Yet, until the end, the Swiss were wary of being invaded and "anschlussed" by their powerful neighbor.
Hitler wouldn't have minded doing it, if he hadn't had other fish to fry in the meantime...

Twitter will ban Holocaust denial posts, following Facebook

Facebook implemented the policy on Monday

Oct 14, 2020

Twitter will ban posts that deny the Holocaust, a company spokesperson confirmed today. The news, first reported by Bloomberg, comes two days after Facebook implemented the same policy.

“We strongly condemn antisemitism, and hateful conduct has absolutely no place on our service,” the Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. They said that “attempts to deny or diminish” violent events are prohibited under Twitter’s hateful conduct policy. Glorification of violent events, including the Holocaust, is banned, too.
