“Fuck the Jews” apparently meets Facebook’s Community Standards

Simon Court’s Facebook post about the parliamentary declaration condemning antisemitism recently created an avalanche of antisemitic posts in the comments with the most vile content imaginable. These screenshots could have come straight out of Nazi Germany:

And that’s just a few of the hundreds of vile comments on there. But as to the titular post, I reported Rayray King for hate speech for saying “Fuck the jews”:

A week later Facebook replied saying this was not a violation of their Community Standards. Personally, I think it says everything about the worldview of the people who own Facebook that “fuck the Jews” is not hate speech.

I thought it was pretty bad a few years ago when I reported someone posting a picture of a spade with ashes on it and a caption “how to pick up Jewish chicks” and this was held not to violate the rules, but thought perhaps AI moderation found it difficult to pick up on what was being said. But Facebook’s Community Standards explicitly list posts saying “Fuck the —” (where — is a protected characteristic) as an example of hate speech, and says that ethnicity (and for that matter religion) is a protected characteristic. That’s not hard even for AI moderation to understand.

Hypocrites.
