Going against the holocaust crazy and Jewish haters will hurt Facebook more than just allowing free speech.

These fools are just seeking the opportunity of using censorship from Facebook to their advantage.

Good call Facebook, let the haters roar in their little hole, no more free PR.

I'm sure Facebook has been letting them roar in their little hole for some time. It's techcrunch that's reopening the issue, which I don't quite understand. Facebook is a rather small snapshot of the real world - a real world where hundreds of thousands of Holocaust deniers exist. Removing this insignificant subset from Facebook wouldn't do anything. I think Mike needs to just settle with the realization that people with these opinions exist, and will always exist, and have always existed.
