Facebook to ban content that denies or distorts the Holocaust

Mark Zuckerberg says his thinking has evolved after increase in antisemitic violence

Facebook says it is updating its hate speech policy to ban content that denies or distorts the Holocaust.

The decision comes two years after its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, said in an interview with the tech website Recode said that while he found Holocaust denial deeply offensive, he did not believe Facebook should delete such content.
