Social media giants face French lawsuit threats over ‘hate’ posts

PARIS (CNSNews.com) – Social media giants Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are facing threats of legal action here after three non-governmental organizations released a study showing that they often fail to remove material reported for spreading hatred in violation of French law.
Between March 31 and May 10, the organizations identified 586 posts which they said were racist, anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying or homophobic, as well as others advocating terrorism or crimes against humanity.
