Facebook Suspends Netanyahu Campaign Bot for Hate Speech

By Isabel Kershner

    Sept. 12, 2019

JERUSALEM — Facebook suspended a chatbot operated by the official account of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday for violating hate speech rules after it sent a message saying that Israel’s Arab politicians “want to destroy us all.”

The message, which went out in the name of a Netanyahu campaign volunteer, was trying to rally right-wing support for Mr. Netanyahu and his conservative Likud party in next Tuesday’s election.

Chatbots are software programs that try to emulate human conversation. In this instance, the bot provided a pop-up message to viewers of Mr. Netanyahu’s official Facebook page.

FB and Twitter could not be more heavyhanded in their censorship efforts.

Psst, Schmuckerberg: Muslims do want to destroy Israel, along with every Jew on the planet.

True. But they make no secret of destroying every Western civilization as well as Christians and Jews. Ultimately, according to them, this will lead to full global world domination. It is the will of Allah, and they yell it from the rooftops.

The fact that Liberals refuse to believe them, refuse to take them at their words, and want to 'protect' them for some incomprehensible reason, will not stop them in the least. We can see that clearly and in reality all over Europe today, right now.

If they had the power, Twitter and Facebook would be the first things that Islam would destroy. In fact, these platforms are banned in many Islamic and Authoritarian countries. They do not believe in that kind of freedom. They do not believe that the population of sheep should have the ability to communicate with each other that quickly and easily.

It would be easy to deduce that FaceBook and Twitter stand with the dictators. They are obviously anti-American pro-China pro-censorship socialists so that is only one step away from full on authoritarianism.

What makes this situation unique is that populations expect governments to attempt political censorship. But these companies are civilians. And supposedly "Liberals" at that? And yet they are actively working to force a political agenda on the population as non government citizens. Why? How does this further their business? What are they getting out of it? Which company in the world would actively work to "ban" 50% of their clients based solely on the fact that they do not agree with who they voted for? This is very unbusinesslike behavior from a private company.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Apparently, the truth is no defense for violating Facebook's politically correct standards. I wonder what the pro-Palestinian chatbots have had to say about Israel lately, and whether they are subject to the scrutiny.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

FaceBook makes no apologies for their obvious double standards. In fact, they seem proud of it. They ban Republicans for things Democrats do and say everyday. You have Muslims calling for the death of America, Death to Israel! and this is perfectly acceptable.

I don't use FB or Twitter but if you do, you just have to take it for what it is. It is a far-Left echo chamber which has no tolerance for anyone who disagrees with their far-Left agendas. If I sign up with DailyKos or DU, I know what those sites are and I know what to expect. It is the same thing with FB and Twitter. If you dare step outside of their very narrow and biased point of view, then they will ban you.

Their rules mean nothing. They obey their rules very selectively depending on whether you are in a 'protected class' or if they agree with whatever vulgar nasty overtly threatening thing you said. If they agree that whoever it is you wish death on should actually die, the post will stand and you account is safe. It is only when they disagree with you that you get in trouble, regardless of the rules and no matter what you post.
