Facebook now prohibits Holocaust denial content on its platform as the social network says it is concerned about the rise of antisemitism.
When users research the Holocaust on Facebook, they will be redirected to sources containing reliable information, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday.
Zuckerberg explained his desire to strike a balance between freedom of expression and the fight against hateful content.
It is not easy to draw a clear line between what is acceptable and what is not, according to Zuckerberg, who nonetheless believes Facebook is now striking the right balance.
