Is What FaceBook Did To Soros A Hate Crime?

[Me.]

"the top executive (Sandberg) was personally behind a secret effort to smear Soros and his foundations—in some cases by pushing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories used by right-wingers—as a way to deflect from a public relations crisis and ongoing criticisms of the social media giant's business model"

1. I would think so. FB has got some serious issues to deal w/, but smearing people isn't right. nt

2. THey Have A Lot To Answer To

I hope, at the very least, Soros takes some legal action on their egregious behavior.

4. I do too. Some of these platforms have to clean themselves up quite a bit, and I know that ...

supposedly, FB, twitter, etc. have all done some clean up but there's a lot more to do, and in view of censorship, must be careful in doing so. However, hate speech is hate speech and so this criteria makes it easier for these platforms to clean up this garbage. However, slander, etc. I think needs to go further, in that if it was truly harmful, and not true, nail them to the wall (or their pocketbook).

7. According To This New Report

rather than do the actual cleaning up they hired a team to do propaganda and tricks. They knew there was a problem way before they said they knew but were worried about losing money and didn't want the ca-ching affected. THat entire, antisemitic episode that they created, was an attempt at distraction.
