And we could do this with every country in which @Facebook & @whatsapp operate, replacing “Nazi” for whatever local variant of hate-mongering there is http://twitter.com/... @buzzfeednews : BuzzFeed News has documented hundreds of uses of anti-Semitic or otherwise pro-Nazi stickers used in WhatsApp groups, despite those images being illegal in Germany http://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... Sunny Singh / @sunnysingh_n6 : This from #Germany is not unsurprising: http://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... I have been warning about #WhatApp and its use by the far right in various countries now.
