Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 4:54 am
Facebook already has more than 200 million users worldwide. And among the millions of profiles and pages created there are also some dedicated to paying homage to German Nazism or Franco's dictatorship in Spain or to other historical moments that are at least controversial. And these pages also include advertising.
Facebook pages such as “Adolf Hitler”, “Fallschirm-Panzer-Division bc data china Hermann Göring”, “SS-Schutzstaffel”, “Esoteric Hitlerism” or “Rudolf Hess – your beliefs were more powerful than prison and pain” are automatically inserted with display advertising, just like all other Facebook pages and profiles, often from major companies such as Xing, according to the specialist media Horizont . However, according to German law, the advocacy of Nazism is prohibited. The problem is that Facebook is based in the United States and is governed by American legislation, which is more open in this regard.
The Boocompany blog has reported the presence of some 200 groups of Nazi admirers on Facebook. Among them there are groups that seem to be oriented towards historical knowledge, but the vast majority are dedicated to, for example, denying the Jewish Holocaust.
The blog has published a letter to the Samwer brothers, investors who made Facebook's entry into Germany possible, in which it draws their attention to such groups and the violations of German law that they are committing. The author, CEO of BooCompany, says that he will sue Facebook if such groups are not eliminated and measures are developed to prevent the spread of Nazi, racist, fascist and anti-human rights ideas.
