Israel Advances New 'Facebook Bill', Threatening Free Speech
https://globalvoices.org/2017/01/13/israel-advances-new-facebook-bill-threatening-free-speech/
The Israeli Knesset passed last week a first reading of a
controversial new bill that would allow Israeli courts to
order social media companies to remove online content it deems
"inciting". The "removal of criminally offensive content from
the internet", colloquially known as the "Facebook bill",
allows Israeli administrative courts, at the request of
government, to issue orders demanding social media platforms
like Facebook and Twitter remove online content considered as
incitement to violence. The bill has to go through two more
rounds of approval by the Israeli Knesset before it becomes a
law.

Government censorship is always a hallmark of impending tyranny. This
applies not only in Israel, but in Russia, China, Europe, the USA, and
everywhere else.

The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't
fall into the trap of using the latter. It's just plain wrong!
