Bethany commented on the article |I've seen a couple comments that agree with this post, but you keep bringing up that its hate-speech which is what caused the genocide in the first place. The fact is, people are going to speak illfully towards other people. It will always happen. But if all of Facebook's population came across a group that disagrees with the Holocaust, a vast majority of it would think it was extremely silly because almost everyone knows what happened and knows we should be respectful of the issue. So why do these few groups matter when some of the most popular groups on Facebook are spewing about how homosexuals are wrong? Or groups that hate black people, asians, latinos, etc. Free speech is allowing all of these people to come together and talk about why they hate another certain group. And its happening a lot more openly than a few anti-holocaust groups that I never knew existed until I read this post.
Are we going to give more flack because the "jewish-holocaust" already happened or are we going to prevent a homosexual- or mexican- or gap-toothed-holocaust from happening now? -
Bethany commented on the article |GREAT post. I started laughing because after his quote about "being passionionate about human life and traditional marriage" I automatically starting thinking of the energy of the Obama campaign this past fall and sure enough, that's where Michael went with it.

This post is about Facebook NOT closing a certain group because they say it should be allowed under the freedom of speech, so I'm not sure why you would think they wouldn't tolerate Atheististic beliefs... especially seeing as there are a bazillion Atheists/Agnostics on Facebook.
I just wanted to reply because you made it sound like you didn't understand the point of the post, which is that the author thinks a certain kind of group should be removed from Facebook because of its content. -

Great response. Is there a logical answer as to why we've grown up to learn that the Holocaust was about Jewish people? Because I'd like to know. I mean, if the group of Jews was 24.5 million then I could see people making it about them and dismissing other groups, but it's not. And I didn't even know all of those groups were effected. I of course knew it wasn't just Jews being killed, but I didn't realize the numbers were that huge. Why do people only focus on the 6 million Jews?

Refusing to remove these groups does not mean Facebook itself agrees with the views of the groups. If one group gets banned, then another one and another one until we start crossing lines trying to figure out if there is a group that can exist without offending anyone.
Of course the Holocaust happened and of course it is one of history's most horrific stories. But the gruesome fact is that there are people out there that disagree with it and just like every issue that has an opposing side, they're allowed to discuss the reasons they disagree.
It's sick, but I highly doubt the existence of these groups will sky rocket the population of neo-Nazis. -
