After Facebook, Twitter bans content that denies the Holocaust

Twitter will not allow posts that deny the Holocaust. The move comes after Facebook implemented a similar policy on Holocaust denials.

“We strongly condemn antisemitism, and hateful conduct has absolutely no place on our service,” the Twitter spokesperson is quoted as saying.

The spokesperson added that such posts attempt to deny or diminish violent events that are not allowed under Twitter’s hateful conduct policy. The social networking platform also prohibits posts that glorify violent events such as the Holocaust.

Facebook earlier this week said it had updated its hate speech policy to ban any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust. The company would also start directing people who search for terms related to the Holocaust or its denial to a credible source of information on the topic.
