Incitement on Facebook? 'Report, it'll help'
- 9 years ago
Following a lawsuit against Facebook on behalf of tens of thousands of Israel over groups inciting against Israel, Arutz Sheva spoke with Orna Heilinger, the director of the Internet Safety Center.
Heilinger used the opportunity to explain how to act in an arena that appears to lack any limits.
Heilinger began by stating that she, too, feels that not enough is being done to prevent incitement on Facebook.
Despite this, she added, "I know that they are trying to do something and are removing problematic content."
"Expecting that Facebook will take care of our social issues is the wrong attitude.
We must look around us and see that the people around us are those who are uploading this content.
Facebook is not the responsible adult.
We must be responsible adults and lower the flames."
