Facebook removes Hezbollah pages | New Europe
The policy against terror incitement and hate propagation of the social site has forced the elimination of all the pages belonging to Hezbollah and the groups television network Al-Manar, Israel Radio reported.
Facebook took this decision after Hezbollah's appearance in 2004 on the State Departments list of terror organizations. The site uses this list to decide which groups may be involved in the promotion of violence, explained Frederic Wolens, a Facebook spokesperson.
This policy was also extended to Al- Manar - also placed on the list in 2004 for being a propaganda arm of the political group- , whose official page was deleted on 16 August. Hezbollah never had an official page, but its community site was also removed.
Last month, Apple and Google took steps to eliminate Hezbollah from their online stores, including an app for streaming Al-Manar videos.
