FLASHBACK: The Holocaust Photo that Offended Facebook
UNITED WITH ISRAEL 30.04.2022
A photo was taken of a girl holding an Israeli flag outside of the entrance to Auschwitz. Facebook flagged it as “insensitive” but later apologized.
Julius Ciss is the executive director of Jews for Judaism, Canada. When he posted this picture of his daughter outside Auschwitz holding the Israeli flag in 2015, he was shocked to discover that Facebook considered it to be ‘insensitive’. What could be insensitive about such a picture?
“Well, today I received the following notice from Facebook: ‘Your photo wasn’t removed because it doesn’t violate our community standards, but it has been marked as insensitive because it could offend or upset people.’
