Reply from Facebook to letter from Minister Edelstein

Dear Minister Edelstein,

Thank you for your letter to Mark Zuckerberg concerning a Page on Facebook entitled” The Third Palestinian Intifada”. Mark has asked me to reply on his behalf as I manage Facebook’s relationships with governments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

We reviewed the Page in question extensively in response to several reports we received including your own. Our reviewers felt that the content of the Page began as a call for peaceful protest, even though the term Intifada has been associated with violence in the past. In addition, the administrators initially removed comments that promoted violence. Under these conditions a Page of this nature would normally be permitted to remain on Facebook.

However, after the publicity of the Page more comments deteriorated to direct calls for violence. Eventually, the administrators also participated in these calls. After administrators of the page received repeated warnings about posts that violated our policies, we removed the Page yesterday.

We continue to believe that people on Facebook should be able to express their opinions, and we do not typically take down content that speaks out against countries, religions, political entities, or ideas. However, we monitor Pages that are reported to us and when they degrade to direct calls for violence or expressions of hate – as occurred in this case – we have and will continue to take them down.

We are aware that there have been reports of a number of copycat pages on the site and will similarly review reports related to this content and take appropriate action in accordance with our community standards.

We have been in touch with your spokesperson Gal Ilan throughout this process of initial and further review and this contact has been very helpful in working through this issue.

Thank you again for your interest in Facebook.

Yours sincerely,
Richard Allan
Director of Policy EMEA Facebook

Thank you again for your interest in Facebook?
This is not the first time Facebook’s policy has been under question-

Facebook and the Third Intifada: The Aftermath

In the last week the Facebook group for the Third Intifada made headlines around the world. First in the Arabic language press, advertising and supporting it, then in the Jewish and Israeli press condemning it, and finally in the mainstream media always thirsty for more stories of ‘cycles of violence’ in the Middle East and perhaps sensing a bloodletting was in the pipeline. Real world events, in the form of unrelated Palestinian terror attacks, provided a backdrop.

The Third Intifada page has now been taken down, yet others are rapidly springing up in its place.
A leading member of Fatah, Demetri Deliani, told the official Palestinian news agency Wafa that “Minister Yuli Edelstein needs lessons in human rights and freedom of expression as he is not aware of the world’s respect for individual opinion”. Edelstein is of course not only Israel’s Minister for Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, he is also a human rights hero. Born in the Soviet Union, in what is today Ukraine, Edelstein spent his twenties illegally teaching Hebrew and promoting aliyah. The authorities eventually caught up with him and he spent three years in a soviet labor camp.

It is his personal experience that gives Edelstein an insight into the balance between the human right of freedom of expression, and the responsibility to protect other human rights, like life and physical safety. Yuli holds not only a mandate to tackle antisemitism as part of his ministerial portfolio, he was also made chair of the Working Group on online hate of the Inter-parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism, a group of Parliamentarians and experts from over 40 countries. It was Yuli, in his personal capacity, and not in his official capacity as Minister Edelstein, who wrote to Facebook. Perhaps Facebook initially failed to appreciate the significance of that.

Demetri Deliani is assuming people everywhere will value freedom of expression so highly they that they will allow its use for any purpose. Perhaps he is right, and this is how people at Facebook, in their naivety, would like to see it. After all, it suits their business purpose, they more content they can publish, without having to implement safe guards, or take any responsibility for the deaths, violence, suicides and mental harm that can result, the higher their profit margins. Imagine the cost to Facebook if they had liability in the same way the owner of a hall has when they rented it out for a gathering they know may be unsafe and might turn to violence. Perhaps it is self interest and not naivety that drives Facebook to keep the standards low and the intervention slow.

The official explanation from Facebook has been that the group became a problem only very recently. As Andrew Noyes, Facebook’s public policy communications manager, tells it, “after the publicity of the page, more comments deteriorated to direct calls for violence”, he added that the page admin then made calls for violence too. This is nothing but spin. The calls for violence were there from the start. The administrators actions were consistent throughout. Those of us who were watching it for weeks and months can testify to this. What changed for Facebook was the public outcry. This is the same pattern we saw in 2008 with the group declaring Israel was not a country, the first documented case of antisemitism 2.0. Facebook cares not for values, but for business interests, and enough public outcry and negative press becomes a business liability.

A system where companies, like Facebook, can facilitate human rights violations when it is in their business interest is a system that needs fixing. Companies must be accountable. Human rights do not only apply when they are popular and can garner public outrage and media attention. Facebook’s responsibility to close a group advocating violence arose when the first complaint was made. The number of complaints should not matter, only the fact that the clock has started and Facebook should respond in reasonable time. I still believe we need legislation to make this the law.

In the mean time, there are new pages and groups carrying forward the third intifada message. Some of these are new replacement groups and pages, others are older groups and pages that have adopted this popular call for violence as a way of increasing their membership. One page I saw had over a million members. It’s up to Facebook to set the standard and remove all these groups the minute their administrators turn to advocating violence, or fail to properly administer the flow of comments.

A cynic might draw comparison between the battle to remove the pages of hate, as more continually spring up, and the myth of Sisyphus, who was punished by the gods to spend all eternity pushing a rock up a hill, watching it roll down, and then starting again. The first lesson is from the myth itself, some say Sisyphus beat the gods by taking joy from ownership of the rock. We too can take joy, or at least pride, for standing up against hate in all its forms. A more practical lesson is one I adapt from lecture Dr Boaz Ganor gave. He was speaking on counter terrorism strategies and said there were only two: either you decrease the desire for terrorism, or you decrease the capacity to deliver. In our context, each time a group or page is removed, that community must rebuild from scratch. It’s a setback, it disrupts communication, and it stops the growth of hate. Ultimately they may get tired of it and take their hate to another platform, but even if they don’t, the response it helpful. It outlines what is right and what is wrong, and it inhibits those seeking to use the power of social media for ill.

Ultimately the causes of hate need to be addressed, but that does not mean removing hate groups and pages is a futile task. Meantime, at least down here in Australia at the Community Internet Engagement Project, we continue to work on more long term solutions. The limiting factor is not the need for change, or the lack of a plan, its dollars. I’m told once you reduce the problem to that, solutions are possible. As the number of hate groups grow, I can only hope that prediction holds true, if it does a year from now our plans will have been implemented and we will all be living in a very different reality.

There is an attack against Israeli Jews happening on Facebook but the social media site refuses to shut the incitement down. Its called the Third Palestinian Intifada, and the site is almost totally in Arabic. The ‘Third Palestinian Intifada’, urges its readers to copy the link, place it in their profiles and publish it on all pictures, videos and pages – everywhere they can. An alert announces that a march to “Palestine” will begin from neighboring countries on May 15 and soon after, “Palestine will be liberated and we will be freed. Our goal now is to reach millions of subscribers on this page before May.”

The page also includes hateful language  calling for its supporters supporters to build on the previous two murderous previous intifadas in which Arab terrorists murdered and wounded thousands of Israeli civilians and caused the death and injury of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

The second intifada is also called the Oslo War as it took place after the Oslo process broke down and Yasser Arafat walked a way from a peace deal which would have given him a Palestinian State and 98% of his demands.

The Facebook page directs readers to supplementary content on other sites such as Twitter and You Tube. And ends with a warning to Facebook. “If Facebook Blocks this page..All Muslims Will Boycott Facebook Forever.”

In one of the rare cases of his caring about Jewish Issues instead of the progressive agenda, the ADL’s Abe Foxman blasted the Third Intifada site and Facebook:

“This Facebook page constitutes an appalling abuse of technology to promote terrorist violence,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “Although the managers of this group claim to be calling for peaceful demonstrations, the Third Intifada pages include calls for followers to build on the previous two intifadas. We should not be so naïve to believe that a campaign for a ‘Third Intifada’ does not portend renewed violence, especially in the current climate that has seen a dramatic increase in rocket attacks from Gaza, the brutal murder of the Fogel family in the West Bank, and a terrorist bombing in Jerusalem.”

…..”We are disappointed that Facebook has rejected our request to remove this site, which is in clear violation of their terms of service,” said Mr. Foxman. “We are especially disappointed in this case because in the past there has often been understanding and sensitivity from Facebook when we have brought violations of its own rules to its attention. We urge Facebook to reconsider its decision and remove this site, which by its very title incites violence.”

An email campaign to pressure the popular social networking site into removing the page has been mounted by pro-Israel groups as well as private individuals. All have expressed increasing concern over the potential danger to Israeli citizens that may result from the page, which clearly promotes violence against Jews in Israel. As of tonight the site has revived almost 348,000 “likes”

Last week Israel asked Facebook to take the site down:

Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein wrote in a letter e- mailed to media yesterday. “As Facebook’s CEO and founder you are obviously aware of the site’s great potential to rally the masses around good causes, and we are all thankful for that,” Edelstein said. “However, such potential comes hand in hand with the ability to cause great harm such as in the case of the wild incitement displayed on the above-mentioned page.”

There are other sites Facebook should look at also as The Third Intifada  site is not the only Anti-Semitic or Israel directed hate site on Facebook as shown by this video from my former writing home Aish HaTorah.

The social media site answered NO:

“While some kinds of comments and content may be upsetting for someone -­ criticism of a certain culture, country, religion, lifestyle, or political ideology, for example — that alone is not a reason to remove the discussion,” Debbie Frost, a spokeswoman for Facebook, said in an e-mailed statement.

“We strongly believe that Facebook users have the ability to express their opinions, and we don’t typically take down content, groups or Pages that speak out against countries, religions, political entities, or ideas,” she said.

Facebook is being disingenuous, This is not a site which  disagrees with Israel’s positions. It is a site that calls for the destruction of Israel,and the murder of Jewish Israelis.

The internet is all about “freedom of ideas” I get that. And in most cases I agree. But there is also a built in responsibility for sites to guard themselves from becoming purveyors of hate.  It is the reason why I do not allow comments to be published on The Lid until they are reviewed. Sadly Facebook does not believe it has this responsibility, and they cannot differentiate between opinion and incitement.

UPDATE:

The  controversial Facebook group calling for a Third Intifada was taken down early Tuesday morning, however it was reposted sometime early Wednesday. It is not known whether Tuesday’s interruption of service was due to Facebook (as they made no statement) a hack attack, or the subterfuge by those involved with the intifada page. Big Journalism will keep and eye on it and report back to you.

Facebook’s record of pulling anti-jihad groups and leaving pro-jihad groups in place is well established. But this one was just too egregious even for the Leftist dhimmis who run Facebook.

“Facebook drops ‘intifada’ page for promoting violence,” from the BBC, March 29 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Facebook has removed a page calling for a new Palestinian uprising against Israel after more than 350,000 people signed up to it.

The page which appeared on the social networking site was called Third Palestinian Intifada after two previous uprisings against Israeli occupation.

It was removed for featuring calls for violence, a company spokesman said.

Israel had raised concerns about the page. Facebook has helped spread calls for protests in Arab states.

The Third Palestinian Intifada page had called for an uprising after Muslim prayers on Friday 15 May.

“Judgment Day will be brought upon us only once the Muslims have killed all of the Jews,” a quote from the page read….

Funny thing: when I quote that hadith, Islamic apologists claim it’s inauthentic and that no Muslims believe it. And yet somehow these Facebook genocide fans didn’t seem to get the memo.

Of course! Especially since she’s made to your exact specifications.

A new, soon-to-launch Facebook application allows loveless technogeek guys to sign up for a ‘Cloud Girlfriend.’

The Cloud Girlfriend website describes how it works:

“Step 1: Define your perfect girlfriend. Step 2: We bring her into existence. Step 3: Connect and interact with her publicly on your favorite social network Step 4: Enjoy a public long distance relationship with your perfect girl.”

Takes all that annoying uncertainty out of it, doesn’t it? Along with most of the fun.

It’s an interesting trend…stuff like ‘Second Life’ , ‘Worlds of Warcraft’ and other virtual universes seem to be getting more popular as people feel more out of control in the real world.

One thing I fail to understand is why they didn’t create a ‘Cloud Boyfriend’ for dateless female technogeeks. That scenario is just as likely as the other way around.

please donate…it helps me write more gooder!

Honest Reporting reports that the vile Facebook group calling for a Third Intifada has been closed down.

Despite previous statements saying they would monitor but not remove the controversial Facebook group calling for a Third Intifada, Facebook administrators shut down the group early Tuesday morning in response to enormous pressure from pro-Israel activists. All links to the group now go to users personal Facebook profile.

The group had been calling for a march on Israel to “liberate” Palestine beginning on May 15. It remains to be seen how Facebook will respond if similar groups emerge with similar message of a Third Intifada.

New media expert Andre Oboler, one of the first to discover the group was down, told HonestReporting that Facebook made the correct decision shutting down the group.  “It’s about time,” he said. “Facebook needs to learn to distinguish between the right to ‘attack’ conceptual ideas, and the ‘wrong’ of attacking people be it because of their race, religion, nationality or political view. When they start to understand that, perhaps they will stop making so many mistakes.”

But to paraphrase Mark Twain, rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated.

There are at least a few more such pages:

http://www.facebook.com/PALESTINIAN.INTIFADA.THIRD?sk=wall

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Third-Palestinian-Intifada-الانتفاضة-الفلسطينية-الثالثة/197763943580171

We’ve still got work to do.

Andrew Ross Sorkin reports that Facebook is trying to court former Obama aide Robert Gibbs to a senior communications role as the social media giant tries to repair its public image and prepare for its planned initial public offering.

Though no formal offer has been made, sources said that “Mr. Gibbs, who left the White House in February after two years on the job, had been planning to help establish President Obama’s re-election campaign before taking a private sector job … Facebook, however, is pressing Mr. Gibbs to consider the job more quickly, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the conversations were supposed to remain confidential.”

“A job for Mr. Gibbs at Facebook could be worth millions of dollars. While details of his potential compensation package have yet to be discussed, people briefed on the talks said that he would receive a cash salary as well as shares ahead of the initial offering. Facebook is being valued by some investors at more than $ 60 billion and could be the largest offering in history.”

Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs may be headed to Facebook:

Facebook is in talks to hire Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s former White House press secretary, for a senior role in helping to manage the company’s communications, people briefed on the negotiations said.

Facebook is seeking out Mr. Gibbs ahead of an initial public offering planned for early 2012, these people said.

The talks are still at an early stage and no formal offer has been made, these people said, adding it remained possible that the discussions could collapse.

Mr. Gibbs, who left the White House in February after two years on the job, had been planning to help establish President Obama’s re-election campaign before taking a private sector job, these people said.

Facebook, however, is pressing Mr. Gibbs to consider the job more quickly, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the conversations were supposed to remain confidential.

A job for Mr. Gibbs at Facebook could be worth millions of dollars. While details of his potential compensation package have yet to be discussed, people briefed on the talks said that he would receive a cash salary as well as shares ahead of the initial offering. Facebook is being valued by some investors at more than $ 60 billion and could be the largest offering in history.

Nice work if you can get it, I suppose, although this would be somewhat of a surprising move for Gibbs since most speculation had him heading back to Chicago to help with the President’s re-election campaign.

You the Reader Proves Facebook Talks Versus You the Reader Proves Facebook Stalks

Before you read this article and discover if you do or do not have the tendencies to become a Facebook stalker check that this is actually the article you want to read and not You the Reader Proves Facebook TalksYou the Reader Proves Facebook Talks is a poorly written phenomenal article which receives thousands of reads everyday and has done so for over a year. This article (i.e. You the Reader Proves Facebook Stalks) if you are too stupid to have noticed (we will now point it out for you) replaces the word Talk with Stalk in its title. You the Reader Proves Facebook Stalks is also relatively well written, original, relatively interesting and, because its writer uses the spellchecker, contains no spelling mistakes

How Stalkers Use Facebook to Stalk

Non corporate stalkers firstly identify their target. Their target is usually but not always a Facebook member who shares personal details. The next step is to become their friend but if not a friend of one of their friends. 

Making Friend with Someone You Do Not Actually Know on Facebook

it is quite easy to become someones friend on Facebook even if you do not know them. For example, Sarah Palin will accept friendship requests from anybody and everybody. “The more the merrier” she allegedly said re Facebook friends or Twitter followers (there is disagreement about which). However, it is also possible to become the friend of someone you do not know and who has no political pretensions. This is because there are many people on Facebook (Lilly Allen before she was mainstream famous for example) who see it as some measure of their social success to have hundreds and thousands of friends.

Taking Further Stalking Steps on Facebook

Stalking on Facebook is fortunately not quick to develop and most people notice and do something about it. You can always close down your account. Also, most people understand that they should not share details on Facebook. Never publish your telephone number, address or place of work or education. This is the information the Facebook stalker craves and enables them to make th next step.

Last Warning About Facebook | Advertisers Stalking You!

No matter what Facebook was first developed to do it is now beyond that. Facebook is evolving into an advertising medium and the experience of its members is not of importance. After all, membership of Facebook is free but there is a charge to advertise and target members according to their age, gender, interests, musical and literary tastes and geographic location.
