Ukraine: Facebook bans pejorative for anti-Russia Ukrainian Jews


Via JTA:
Facebook has taken down dozens of pages containing a Russian-language phrase that combines a Ukrainian pejorative for “Jew” with the name of a nationalist whose troops murdered Jews.

Pages with the phrase “Zhidbanderovets” were removed on April 22 after Facebook said they violated the social network’s community standards against offensive speech, according to a report on the news website evreiskiy.kiev.ua.

More than 1,000 people complained about the phrase, according to the report.
