Meta-Facebook Welcomes Ukraine’s Nazi Azov Regiment Back on Platform 

31

U.S. tech giant Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, no longer designates Ukraine’s Azov Regiment as a “dangerous organization.”

Facebook is little more than Democrat government propaganda. These Nazis are welcome but our pages are banned for posting about vaccine side effects.

Zuckerberg can lick the boots of our most dangerous adversaries but in the big scheme of things history will not be kind to this worm.

What the Zuck: Facebook Welcomes Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Azov Regiment Back on Platform

By: Lucas Nolan, Breitbart, January 23, 2023:

Facebook (now known as Meta) has removed Ukraine’s Azov Regiment — members of which regularly display Nazi symbols and signs on their uniforms — from its list of dangerous individuals and organizations. With this change, Mark Zuckerberg is welcoming members of the Azov Regiment who were once blacklisted to utilize his massive platform.

The Washington Post reports that as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, Facebook has modified its approach to content moderation. The neo-Nazi Ukrainian military group Azov Regiment was recently removed from the social media behemoth’s list of potentially harmful people and groups. With this modification, members of the Azov Regiment will be able to sign up for Facebook and Instagram accounts and post content without worrying about it being taken down unless it violates the platforms’ content policies. Other users will be able to openly laud and support the group’s work due to the change.

This policy change comes after months of criticism of how the social media juggernaut is handling the conflict, with many questioning where it draws the line between promoting free speech about the conflict and containing rhetoric that could have violent or dangerous offline repercussions. The company has been criticized by its Oversight Board, an independent group of primarily leftist activists, academics, and experts who oversee Facebook’s content moderation decisions, for going too far in removing content that challenges authoritarian governments or leaders.

Historically, there has been controversy surrounding the Azov Regiment. It is one of Ukraine’s most skilled military units and has engaged in combat with Russian forces in strategic locations like the besieged city of Mariupol and close to Kiev. However, there were worries that the group was drawing extremists because of its ties to its neo-Nazi ideology. The Azov forces were partially referred to when Russian President Vladimir Putin described his invasion of Ukraine as an effort to “de-Nazify” the nation.

According to Facebook, the neo-Nazi Azov Movement and the Azov Regiment are no longer affiliated. It mentions that the unit is formally under the command and control of the Ukrainian government. According to Facebook, there are still “elements of the Azov Movement, including the National Corp., and its founder Andriy Biletsky” on its list of potentially harmful people and groups. “Hate speech, hate symbols, calls for violence, and any other content which violates our Community Standards are still banned, and we will remove this content if we find it,” the company said.

Fecesbook is keeping with their agenda and allowing all of the progressive commie demos and NAZIS post on their website while continuing to censure conservatives.

The photograph Pamela used is outdated. Zelensky put all azov nazis in jail and the rest of the Azov battalion he made into regular Ukrainian army unit. Nice try, Pamela.

When you all consider the depths of depravity by these Russian hordes I support these freedom fighters who will take it to the “Wagner Group,” or any other Russian. Even Israel is supporting these heroes, the more lard they grease their bullets the better. These guys are doing what US Marines had to do on the way to Japan, in 1945. Being woke in combat is for sissies! Putin’s Army is making the Waffen SS look like choir boys. When this is over we will learn how many Jews were brutally butchered by Putin.

I understand that Geller doesn’t have enough cells in her brain to help her dissociate freedom lovers from freedom killers. You sink yourself in desperate lows by embracing Putin’s propaganda. Bravo for siding with the orcs !!!

Self-styled freedom fighter who fights against freedom. Still waiting for her to fight for freedom for Palestinians living under a brutal illegal military occupation by racist apartheid Israel.

Palestinians do not have to live under “brutal” occupation. They are free to move to your neighborhood, or to any other country of their choice, just like millions of Jews left their homes in Arab countries in 1940’s.

What a load of ignorant rubbish, Dan West. I grew up under apartheid you ignorant horse’s arse and Israel does not have apartheid. The most vicious apartheid system anywhere is Islam, a useless, hate-filled ideology for ignoramuses that the Palestinians embrace and Israel does well to fight.
“A brutal illegal occupation”? Did you actually attend school? In 636AD the Arab Muslims invaded what is today Israel. They were the brutal occupiers who the Jews then eventually pushed aside and took back their country

Please observe the man in a light colored hat, kneeling in the front row. His index finger pointing up is the sign of ISIS and designates the belief that Allah is the one and only god and Islam will rule the world.

Nothing wrong with him believing that. Every person with a religion believes their God is the only God and rules the world. You get Christians and Jews on here believing the same nonsense every day.

There are very few fighters in the Azov organization that have ever been Nazi or Nazi sympathizers. Several embedded individuals documenting the Azov group, have tried to paint this serious patriotic group of fighters as such with little evidence to prove anything. Most of the evidence is to the contrary. The leftist press in the USA constantly looks for far right membership everywhere. Yes, a few of the Azov group have tattoos and such, mostly from misguided actions in their youth. The constant persecution of the Ukrainian people by your site is akin to the left’s trying to link President Trump to far right organizations because someone at a rally has an offensive tattoo or T-shirt. You have become no better than those leftists who take something insignificant and blow it into something significant weather truthful or not.
