Ideological censorship on Facebook is reaching extremes that I can only describe as purely surreal.<\/p>\n

A communist party copies the nazis and publishes a blacklist of Jews in Italy<\/a><\/rel>
\nFacebook's algorithm identifies a cross as 'graphic violence' and censors it<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

At the end of August, I reported here the case of a communist organization that published a blacklist of Italian Jews<\/a>. It is a case that has generated great controversy in Italy, although little has been said about it outside that country, perhaps because for some, when antisemitism is far-left, there is nothing to criticize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
The post I made on my Facebook profile denouncing that blacklist of Jews published by a communist organization.<\/div>\n

On August 29th, I posted my article in Spanish on my Facebook profile<\/a>. Yesterday, I was surprised to find that Mark Zuckerberg's company had labeled my post as \"incitement to hatred\"<\/strong>, and added: \"We don't allow people on Facebook to attack someone because of their identity<\/strong>.\"<\/em> Maybe Facebook didn't like the text I posted when linking my article:<\/p>\n

\"This far-left group already praised Hamas's terrorist attack against Israel in October. Once again, Nazism and Communism are shown to be the same scum<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
The notification from Facebook informing me that my post will have its circulation reduced because it is considered to \"incite hatred.\"<\/div>\n

As you can see, in that text I was not attacking anyone for their identity, but I was criticizing a clearly antisemitic action<\/strong> such as publishing a blacklist of Jews, an action that is very reminiscent of nazi practices. In addition, I was also criticizing two totalitarian ideologies, nazism and communism: is this what Facebook thinks is wrong?<\/strong> Furthermore, Facebook has not even allowed me to appeal that decision.<\/p>\n

The most astonishing thing about all this is that this antisemitic communist group has a Facebook page<\/a>. Not only has Mark Zuckerberg's company not deleted this page despite its manifest anti-Semitism, but Facebook has not even censored the post<\/a> in which this group linked to its blacklist of Jews.<\/strong> This is the world turned upside down: Facebook considers it \"incitement to hatred\" to report this antisemitic act, but not the antisemitic act itself. By acting in this way, Facebook behaves like an accomplice to antisemitism.<\/strong><\/p>\n
