Facebook Refuses to Block Holocaust Denial

a reply to: Kalixi

It comes down to the "why" of the questioning of history.

Why is someone questioning the numbers murdered? Is it legitimate questioning of facts, or is it some sick attempt to downplay somehow what happened.

The decade or so after the end of the Second World War saw a lot of that sort of thing. It was an attempt by some people to rehabilitate Germany, or more specifically the Nazi's, and even more specific by some Hitler himself.

These laws passed in many countries was done with the purest of intent for the most part, but all it really did was give an in to the very people they were trying to silence. It took me a long ass time to come to that conclusion, and a very contentious discussion here on ATS, to wake to that.

There is legit research into the Holocaust, then there's just plain bigotry masquerading as research. Hate can be very well veiled sometimes.
