Mark Zuckerberg's remarks on Holocaust denial 'irresponsible'

Facebook founder had suggested site did not need to remove 'unintentional' denial

Mark Zuckerberg has been criticised by Jewish groups and anti-racism organisations for suggesting Holocaust denial should be allowed on Facebook because it could be unintentional.

In an interview on Wednesday, the Facebook founder said he found Holocaust denial "deeply offensive", but added: "I don't believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong. I don't think that they're intentionally getting it wrong " It's hard to impugn intent and to understand the intent."
