No. Wrong. Free speech should be protected, pure and simple. Just because they are demonstrably idiots and just because they offend you is no justification to remove their right to free speech. If you don’t like what they’re saying then start your own Facebook groups to counter them, there’s plenty of evidence for you to use. The moment you remove someone’s right to their objectionable free speech then you start to limit everyone’s right to free speech including that which you don’t find objectionable but I might, leading to “Politically Correct” speech, which in turn is the first step to the “truth” speech in Orwell’s 1984. You’re a big boy, instead of trying to muzzle them, fight them, on their own ground. Just trying to shut them down is the lazy cowardly way. If you object to their ideas that greatly then take the time and effort to prove your own. Don’t just rely on shutting them down on Facebook, that won’t change their minds, it just makes them martyrs to their followers.

The problems I have with this issue is do you tell others what to think, such as telling Facebook to shut-down hate sites, putting some issue with the freedom-of-speech, or do you let hate-mongerers continue putting inaccurate and make-believe, falsehood garbage on Facebook.

As far as China's restrictions on Facebook, they came to power by wiping-out ethnic Russians in their territory, killed off the ethnic Japanese and Koreans in their present territory, and killing most of both the ethnic Hindu/Indian and Tibetian populations in Tibet. Of course, the USSR came to power by wiping out most of Russia's Jewish, Nordic, and Inuit populations as well. Most communist and fascist military dictatorships come to power with religious, racist, and ethnic blood-bathing being the preferred method, usually occurring because the victim ethnic groups are being blamed for that country's problems, even if they have nothing to do with the problems, not to mention that they usually have no power since they are minorities. This is how Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Stalinist Soviet Russia came to power, and between 6-12 million Jews died at these monster regimes hands. For the Russians, though, Stalin's early alliance with Nazi Germany was repaid by millions of his own people, Jewish or not, being slain by the Nazis once they betrayed Russia, broke their alliance, and invaded Russia.

This is a issue for Facebook to resolve in the end, but since I don't like or agree with these "Anti-Holocaust" people, I don't buy, read or watch what they have to say. I may make myself aware of their ideas, but these people make me sick and make me think that it is possible for there to be people who are a discredit to the human race. I am not Jewish myself, but the Holocaust DID HAPPEN, and we should all learn from it, from Confederate South Slavery & Jim Crow laws, Apartheid, the Rwandan Tribal Massacres, the Sudanese Darfur Genocide, and other horrible events. If we don't learn from these atrocities, then we are doomed to repeat them, again!

In this way, the foto accompanying this post is somewhat dishonest, because it shows what might have been a typical scene at a *concentration camp*. But this is different from the Holocaust, which refers to the (purported, some would say — there are people who dispute specific portions of the Holocaust story) deliberate policy of the Germans to murder Jews, e.g. via gas.

BTW, what did you 'see for yourself'?

If I'm not mistaken 11 million died in the Holocaust. Why only count the 6 million? Do the 5 million non-jews not count?

You're the only one that can do that, then. Facebook doesn't allow users to delete their accounts.

If half of your family had been killed you might still be talking about it 60 years later also…or not.
