臉書(Facebook)因為網站上出現呼籲對以色列發動「第三次抗暴(Intifada)」的頁面
,網站與創辦人查克柏格1日挨告,並遭求償逾10億美元。
臉書本周關閉有將近50萬粉絲的「第三次抗暴」網頁,但在華盛頓提出的訴訟仍指控臉
書「失職」,未迅速回應要求移除該網頁的籲求。除了求償外,訴狀也呼籲法庭禁止臉書
「允許『第三次巴勒斯坦抗暴』或其他主張暴力網頁的存在」。
根據科技部落格TechCrunch取得的訴狀副本,向華盛頓高級法院提告的克萊曼在訴狀中
自稱是猶太裔美國公民,「積極關注以色列和全體人民的安全」。
克萊曼也自稱是政治宣導團體「自由觀察」的創辦者,該機構宣稱致力保護隱私、自由
言論和其他權利,以及協助美國主權「對抗恐怖主義國家掌控的無能聯合國」。
臉書指斥這起訴訟為「毫無道理」,並表示會抗爭到底。以色列公共外交部長艾德斯坦
致函查克柏格,要求關閉「第三次抗暴」頁面的幾天後,臉書在29日關閉該頁面。
臉書表示,最初所以會容忍,是因為該頁面「開始時呼籲和平抗議」,後來出現直接訴
諸暴力的內容後,才因違反臉書政策遭移除。
Facebook sued for $1 billion over Intifada page
(AFP) – 16 hours ago
WASHINGTON — Facebook and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg have been hit with
a lawsuit seeking more than $1 billion in damages over a page on the
social network which called for a "Third Intifada" against Israel.
Facebook this week shut down the "Third Intifada" page, which had almost
500,000 fans, but the lawsuit filed in a court here claims that the
social network showed "negligence" by not quickly responding to appeals
to remove the page.
Besides awarding damages, the complaint calls on the court to bar
Facebook "from allowing the Facebook page titled 'Third Palestinian
Intifada,' and other related and similar sites, which advocate violence
and death to Jews."
The suit, a copy of which was obtained by technology blog TechCrunch,
was filed in DC Superior Court by Larry Klayman, who describes himself
in the complaint as "an American citizen of Jewish origin" who is
"active in matters concerning the security of Israel and all people."
Klayman also identifies himself as the founder of Freedom Watch, whose
website describes it as a political advocacy group dedicated to
protecting privacy, free speech and other rights and "our national
sovereignty against the incompetent, terrorist state-controlled United
Nations."
Facebook dismissed the case as "without merit" and said it would fight.
"While we haven't been served with a complaint, we believe the case is
without merit and we will fight it vigorously," a Facebook spokesman
said.
Facebook shut down the page on Tuesday, several days after Israeli
Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein sent a letter to Zuckerberg
urging him to remove it.
Facebook said the page was initially tolerated because it "began as a
call for peaceful protest" but direct calls for violence began appearing
and the page was removed for violating Facebook's policies. | y******u 发帖数: 804 | | k*****a 发帖数: 7389 | |
