Class action against Facebook seeks to 'dislike' incitement
- 9 years ago
A pro-Israel legal advocacy center is leading a class action against Facebook, accusing the social media giant of incitement and encouraging violence against Israelis in the midst of the current wave of terrorism.
This unprecedented legal move by the Shurat Hadin NGO seeks an injunction against Facebook to close all pages inciting for violence against Israelis, as well as injunction to monitor and block incitement on the social media website.
Shurat Hadin said the legal aspects of the issue have already been examined, and is calling on Israelis to send in as many examples they could find of incitement on Facebook that could be used in the lawsuit.
"Every Israeli sitting at home now has something to do against terrorism," said Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the head of Shurat Hadin.
