20,000 Israelis sue Facebook for ignoring Palestinian incitement
http://www.timesofisrael.com/20000-israelis-sue-facebook-for-ignoring-palestinian-incitement/
A class-action lawsuit against Facebook is accusing the
social media platform of ignoring widespread Palestinian posts
calling for violence against Jews. In the suit filed Monday in
New York State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, the 20,000 Israeli
plaintiffs claim the Facebook posts have inspired many recent
terror attacks and that "Facebook's algorithms and platform
connects inciters to terrorists who are further encouraged to
perpetrate stabbings and other violence attacks against
Israelis."
