Facebook to allow temporary calls for violence against Russians and Putin in certain countries​

Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta is making a temporary change to its hate speech policy to allow for calls for violence against Russian soldiers and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to reporting from Reuters.
Users of the social media platforms in countries including Russia, Poland, and Ukraine will allow some posts calling from violence against Russian troops in the context of the invasion, as well as calls for violence against Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.


So long as youre in certain countries, calling for violence will now be ok, against other certain countries. Which is a great example of the stupidity of facebooks censorship. American says kill Russians, banned. Ukrainian says kill Russians, ok. Russians say kill Ukranians? Well, facebook is banned in Russia.

So hate speech isnt really wrong, just depends on the popularity of it.

Gee, I wonder why they might consider making an exception for Ukrainians resisting a brutal invasion replete with war crimes when those calls for violence are aimed at Russian Troops in context of fighting the invasion.


FFS, such an idiotic partisan thread... 🤦‍♂️

I can see the hypocrisy.

Why does Facebook get to decide? Are they in charge?

There's Russian born people living in the US and to put that out there on FB only creates a serious problem for Russian folks to be physically hurt in the US.

Ukrainian says kill Russians, ok.
Yeah, P Russians invade Ukraine and kill innocent Ukrainians. Death to those Putin loving bastards in Ukraine killing innocent Ukrainians.

Russians say kill Ukranians?
Pro Putin Russians say kill Ukrainians. See above.

Well, facebook is banned in Russia.
Putin banned FB, correct? He's controlling the messaging/propaganda in Russia while he has sent his Russian military fighters into Ukraine to kill them and destroy their cities to rule them like a stinking dictator.

Along with Fox/Republicans talking about this OP, 8 of their 10 top news stories on their website are trashing Joe, Kamala and Jen as trump's genius slaughters Ukrainians including children.

Republican/Russian propaganda is genius.

Years from now all people will remember about you is that you defined support for Ukrainian victory as hate speech.

The MSM never says anything bad about Republicans, okie dokie.

I think Fox is just trying to point out the failures going on with this administration.

Trump is Putin’s puppet? Really?

What does that make Joe Biden?

Facebook controls the narrative in the USA as Putin does in Russia. Isn’t that a coincidence.

Nothing to see here folks.

Giving support and telling people what to do are different things.

Without doing the research on this, I'm taking it at face value -- are you suggesting you support call for violence on social media for a scenario like Ukraine? Why would that be any different than other scenarios, such as riots we saw in 2020 and January 6 where individuals were being killed, property damage and other violent acts?

So Ukrainians who are being actually murdered and who say kill those Russians are practicing "hate speech"? That sounds kinda incorrect to me. You have to excuse the Ukrainians from too much censorship for voicing their anger at people who are actually occupying your land and who are bombing hospitals for example. Today a maternity ward was hit by Russian weapons, killing several women. Yesterday it was a children's hospital.

Let us go easy on the Ukrainians in their own of need rather than kicking them off what might be one of the only ways to find and connect to family and friends who are not able to flee or who have fled.

It's okay for the left to advocate for violence as long as it serves their political purposes.

Just days ago Lindsey Graham was chastised for suggesting someone assassinate Putin.

Psaki said "That's not who we are". Apparently that's exactly who we are. Well, not we; democrats.

That ain't right. If you've got a standard apply it evenly and honestly.

It's OK for anyone to advocate killing the invading Russian soldiers.

Stop making quisling posts, even if those are your orders.

Of course you’re upset, being a dedicated Trump / Putin / Russian supporter.

The DETAILS matter.

Facebook is not allowing for calling for violence against RUSSIANS. It is allowing calling for violence against RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.

Um, news flash....Graham, who advocated for a political assassination, is neither a Democrat nor "left".

Try again.
