Dutch police come to users home and persuade to remove the "wrong" posts on Facebook
In Europe, a wave of protest against the behavior of migrants and the migration policies of EU states is gaining momentum. In addition to street protest, dissatisfied people are also actively expressing their opinions on the Internet. As it turned out, such posts attracted the closest attention from the police. So, in Holland, police officers came home to authors who expressed dissatisfaction with migration policies.
“The police came to me and asked if I wanted to delete my Facebook post. But when I decided to do this, my message already disappeared. It was deleted by someone else - probably the police or Facebook itself. A police officer told me that for Facebook posts, he needs to visit four or five more users. They want us to keep our mouths shut and not say anything about it. ”.
I wonder who deleted his post? Do community administrators or European police really have tools for editing Facebook content?
“I opened and asked what was the matter. They said: “Do not write about refugees.” I laughed and closed the door. ”
Netherlands Police Spokesman Henk Van Der Velde said: “This is not a standard method. However, every day we look at social networks, and in this case, we needed to find out people's intentions. ”
Here is such a soft version of censorship on the Internet. Youuntil no one stops to express their opinions on the Internet, but it may come to the police and ask them to remove this opinion.
By the way, it’s interesting, but the participants in the mini-skirt marchDutch police also visited to “find out people's intentions?”
PS In the comments, many call RT the yellow press and say that you should not believe them without confirmation from other sources. I do not think RT is yellow and in general my opinion is that in all such situations I recommend looking at the reaction of the one who is accused. If there is no refutation from him, then there can be no doubt that the situation is described correctly. But there are no denials from the Dutch police :)
But for those who are not satisfied with such considerations, I will provide a link to an article in a fairly authoritative publication Deutsche Welle .
