Exposed as what? Are you saying Elon Musk is a Holocaust denier?


No, they just aren't who they advertised themselves as

Zuckerberg should step down as the CEO of Facebook if he continues expressing his desire to
allow Holocaust deniers on Facebook.

Of course they should be allowed on Facebook, there is such thing as keeping your opinions to yourself. No one is going to know that about you unless you express it. This is what I always say about people regarding their political beliefs or if they support Trump, no one is going to know if you don't say it. The same applies to Holocaust deniers. What if someone thought all the unwanted kids in the world should be euthanized, keep that to yourself. There are opinions out there I believe should be kept to themselves or there are consequences.


Did you mean to say "of course they should NOT be allowed on Facebook"?

Or did you mean that first sentence the way you typed it?

If the latter then I am confused by your post, because in the rest of the paragraph you argue the opposite.


Yes I did say that because if you are a Holocaust denier, no one is going to know unless you express it. You can't get kicked out of places or kicked off social media for it if you keep it to yourself.

Oh I get it.

You're just being hyper literal. Either to be a wiseacre, or because you're an autistic who honestly doesn't know that you're being excessively literal. Not sure which thing you're being.

When folks ask "should Facebook allow Holocaust deniers?" most folks take it the way the question is meant: "should folks who seek to use Facebook as a platform to express their Holocaust Denial creed be allowed to use Facebook that way?" But you meant "folks can believe whatever they want and be allowed on Facebook, as long as they don't EXPRESS certain beliefs on Facebook". Not sure why you even bothered to say that.

Let's be clear, Facebook is NOT A SOFTWARE COMPANY. They sell people, wholesale, on to software companies. Or pretty much anybody else.

You can't really stop people from using your service because people can just keep it to themselves and you would never know so it would be impossible to make such a rule.

Facebook is fundamentally just as insane as holocaust denial. Users are playing into the hands of a corrupt govt. without a second thought, because they've been told this excuse; that guys like Zuckerberg & Jobs are/were 'innovators' who brought connectivity to the whole world & that they're above reproach because they're just that smart. It's idol worship plain & simple, with a side of 'like' buttons & brushed aluminum.

They are selling you down river to people, whom, like Mussolini, don't give a damn.
