The Zionist fascism of the 21st century must be defeated. Show your dignity and delete your FB accounts!
yes and but in a free and democratic society FB are fully entittled to exercise their legitimate democratic rights not to give them a platform..
BS and you know it.
Is it? FB are a private entity and they are not stopping GD promoting their views: what they are doing is saying that they are not prepared to allow GD to use FB to distribute them........
True. But for more than a year they allowed Syriza, its PMs, its members and its supporters to distribute THEIR political platform and attacks against the GD. And they even allowed the political campaign of SYRIZA "Leme OXI sti Chrysi Avgi" to be spread through their site. Who are they to promote a campaign against an elected party of the Greek Parliament and against its 400,000 voters?? If they have the "democratic right" to allow the criticism and the slander against anyone, they also have the democratic OBLIGATION to allow the voice of the other side to be heard. In other words, giving a platform to someone who calls someone else a Nazi, a Fascist, a Criminal, a Racist and not giving a platform to the victim of such attacks to answer and defend himself, is straightforward Stalinist-Goebbelist tactics, not a democratic practice. So, lets forget all about democracy and simply say: They banned them because they wanted to and because they could. Fair enough. Its their site and they can do whatever they like with it. But lets not mix democracy with such practices.
P.S. I suppose it is the "democratic right" of regimes like that of China to ban FB altogether??
