Facebook social network app on mobile phone. File photoWASHINGTON, Mar 11 Allowing calls for violence against Russians to be posted on the largest social networks Facebook and Instagram represents primitive racism, said Daniel McAdams, director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. Media previously reported that Meta, in the light of the events in Ukraine, temporarily removed the ban on calls for violence against Russians and the Russian military on its social networks Facebook and Instagram.
"For those who were sure that we had gone far from primitive racism and violence , here is a reminder that ancient hatred of others lurks under the very surface and the authorities can unleash it at any moment through the mechanism of propaganda" he says, is a de facto subdivision of the US government, encourages calls for violence against innocent people, singling them out by ethnic origin or language group. «Racial hatred for the unpopular ethnic or religious group, haven't we seen this horror movie before?» McAdams added. A spokesperson for Meta said after media coverage that the lifting of the ban on incitement to violence does not apply to Russian civilians.
There is no going back. Should those who fled from Russia be allowed back?
