WASHINGTON, D.C. December 15, 2020 – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) today urged immediate action from Facebook to eradicate anti-Muslim bigotry from the platform and demanded Mark Zuckerberg implement six measures to combat bigoted content. In a letter signed by 29 colleagues, Dingell cited instances of anti-Muslim content on Facebook and recent reports showing the role of the platform in inciting violence against the Muslim community.
“Facebook cannot celebrate the success of its platform, while ignoring its role in elevating the dangerous, deadly content targeting Muslim people,” said Congresswoman Dingell. “In Christchurch, New Zealand, a terrorist attack that stole the lives of fifty-one Muslims worshipping in their mosque was streamed live on Facebook around the world. But in the ensuing weeks and months, Facebook failed to offer a single policy intentionally designed to eradicate hateful, anti-Muslim content. Nearly two years later, it’s time for Facebook to demonstrate that this company recognizes the life and death consequences of their lack of action.”
In her letter to Mark Zuckerberg, Dingell asked for Facebook to implement the following measures:
“We thank Congresswoman Dingell and her colleagues for holding Facebook accountable for the harm it has inflicted on American Muslims here and Muslims abroad,” said Scott Simpson, Public Advocacy Director of Muslim Advocates. “Just last week, we learned that not only did the Christchurch shooter use Facebook to livestream his slaughter, he also was a member of multiple anti-Muslim hate groups on the platform. Anti-Muslim hate has consequences and Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg must finally take action to stop it from proliferating on their platform.”
Dingell’s letter was signed by Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson. Carolyn B. Maloney, Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes, Max Rose, Barbara Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Bobby L. Rush, Daniel T. Kildee, Jared Huffman, Kathy Castor, Gwen S. Moore, Lauren Underwood, Jan Schakowsky, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mark Pocan, Grace Meng, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Darren Soto, Donald S. Beyer Jr., James P. McGovern, Peter Welch, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, Yvette D. Clarke, Raúl M. Grijalva, Earl Blumenauer, and Nydia M. Velázquez. Additionally, her letter has received the support of the following organizations: CODEPINK, Common Defense, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Islamic Networks Group, Jetpac, Jewish Voice for Peace Action, Justice for Muslims Collective, MomsRising, National Iranian American Council, Peace Action, Progressive Democrats of America, Project South, ReThinking Foreign Policy, and National Network for Arab American Communities.

No to sharia loving pansies!!
And the topic before this one was about 11 killed by the brain washed low IQ goat molesters she thinks are saints.
Irony is God’s way of saying you cannot fix stupid.
This woman and her cohorts fit the mould.
So, no posting the truth about Islam?
Ping
IOW, any Jewish or Christian content, which the left considers by default anti-muslim.
Muslims complain about being attacked and targeted?
Reap what you sow.
a terrorist attack that stole the lives of fifty-one Muslims worshipping in their mosque was streamed live on Facebook around the world. But in the ensuing weeks and months,
Yeah?
How about the terrorist attack in NY by the muslim scum that stole the lives of 3,000 Americans?
FY&STFU.
{But of course FB will step all over themselves rushing to comply...]
That should shut them down except for cat pictures . . .
But Facebook can keep the hateful, untrue anti Trump- and anti-Trump-supporter policies.
They’re just fine.
She’s a prime example of why congressional seats should not be hereditary.
Eradicate all moslum. There, fixed it.
Facebook and any other propaganda outlet can gussie up to islam all they want,
I will forever call it a gutter murderous cult.
1400 years / 700 MILLION innocent people MURDERED by muslim extremists!...... Don’t cover it up!
What were her voters thinking?
Forgot to mention all the other “oppressed” groups...black, Hispanic, minority, gay, trans-whatever, etc. He DOESN’T want that content eradicated?? Talk about discrimination!!
So much for the 1st amendment.

But anti-Christian content sees no censure?
The left is taking the subservience of the media as an entitlement. And when the media complains and raises the talisman of the first amendment, they will realize that tyranny has no friends. The role they accepted voluntarily will become their prison, and it will be too late to do anything about it.
“Are you now or have you ever been a conservative” isn’t rhetorical anymore.
