Facebook supports censorship in Germany

Facebook allows a third party providers to delete posts in Facebook.

After the German government has put pressure on Facebook, this allows access to the comments of its members.

The comments should be deleted from Berlin. Responsible for this is a company whose name "Arvato" is. This company is part of the Bertelsmann Foundation. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is known to enforce political interests. Linkages exist in the political parties of Germany, but also in the German public broadcasting.

Several hundred people to monitor comments on Facebook and possibly delete.

The German Minister of Justice Heiko Maas said that to delete comments that are xenophobic and racist.

Der Spiegel writes, "Every day it comes to inciting contributions -. No wonder with 27 million members in Germany Users have reported the Hetzbeiträge, get however often only the default response, the comment did not violate Facebook's community standards".

It begs the question: if the contributions so far contrary to the Community standards, why should they violate the community standards, when they are examined by a foreign company?

When (and how) Facebook examine whether Arvato comply with the Community Standards? It has already been disclosed that the "special working group" of the German government belong to the left-wing extremist groups. Even a former "unofficial collaborator" of the communist secret service of the GDR, Anetta Kahane, is among

If the comments against German law infringed, which is then no more a case for the police?

Will be abolished in Facebook the right to free speech?

When will Facebook work together with China, Iran or North Korea?

(Jan. 16, 2016) MH370 Search Finds Another 1800's Shipwreck

Underwater sonar equipment turned up a strange object more than two miles beneath the waves just before Christmas. Earlier this month they sent down an unmanned submarine to take a picture. Experts at the Western Australian Museum think it is a 19th-century ship made of metal. This is the second uncharted shipwreck found miles beneath the waves during the search for the missing plane. Last year, investigators released ghostly images of man-made debris scattered along the sea floor, including what is clearly an old anchor.

The hunt for MH370 no longer makes headlines, but what some have described as the most complex search in history has continued for almost two years. Three ships are methodically combing the belly of the southern Indian Ocean. Before this search, scientists knew more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of this stretch of water, so it is not surprising that they keep revealing secrets.

Compare it to the remains of ship discovered during the search in March of 2015. They were discovered at a depth of 2.5 miles, so the ship had a little longer to fall, but all that’s left of it is an anchor, some black balls that are probably lumps of coal and some unidentified man-made objects including a rectangle about 20 feet long.

They are confident they are looking in the right place after a piece of a wing from MH370 was washed up on an Indian Ocean island thousands of miles away. Oceanographers have modelled the way the sea would have moved the fragment, and how long it would have taken to reach Reunion island. They say it all points to the aircraft coming down where they are currently looking, although no-one has any idea why it ended up so far off course. The plane had 239 people on board and was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 when air traffic controllers lost contact with it.
