Mark Zuckerberg Doesn't Want to Ban Holocaust Deniers or Sandy Hook Truthers

In April, Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in front of Congress that the company would eliminate hate speech on the platform within 5 to 10 years using AI technology the company is currently developing. But Zuckerberg says that he thinks both Holocaust Deniers and Sandy Hook truthers, two fringe conspiracy groups that even GOP leaders have condemned, would not be subject to the crackdown. In a 90-minute interview with Recode's Kara Swisher, Zuckerberg discussed issues of censorship on the platform, including the company's alleged conservative bias and its interference in Myanmar. When asked why he couldn't take down content that calls Sandy Hook a fraud, Zuckerberg conceded that he believes the claim is false, but that only direct harassment against victims of the tragedy would be removed. In his justification, he likened the group to Holocaust deniers.
