NEW YORK \u2013 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says while he finds Holocaust denial \u201cdeeply offensive,\u201d he doesn’t believe that such content should be banned from Facebook.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Recode’s Kara Swisher, Zuckerberg, who is Jewish, said in an interview published Wednesday that he thinks there are things \u201cthat different people get wrong.\u201d He added that he doesn’t think they are \u201cintentionally\u201d getting it wrong. At this point, Swisher cut in and said that in the case of Holocaust deniers, it may be intentionally wrong.<\/p>\n

The remarks sparked criticism, including from the Anti-Defamation League, which said in a statement that Facebook has a \u201cmoral and ethical obligation\u201d not to allow people to disseminate Holocaust denial on its platform.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg said offensive content isn’t necessarily banned unless it is to organize harm or attack someone.<\/p>\n
