Facebook Pulls off Pages

"Facebook said on Friday it had removed several pages from its site used by Italian neo-Nazis to incite violence after European politicians accused the Internet social networking site of allowing a platform to racists."

Facebook does support the free flow of information, but these particular pages violated their terms of use. Theses neo-Nazi pages had made threatening remarks to Italian Roma, which are gypsies.

Simon Samuels, a man interviewed for the article who works for a Jewish human rights group, suggested that Facebook should try and create a technology to help filter out "hate speech."

I think it is good that Facebook removed the pages, although Facebook gives a free flow of information, if someone or groups are being threatned the company should step in and take action.
