BERLIN: Facebook must stick to German laws which ban Holocaust denial, the Justice Ministry in Berlin said on July 19 after Mark Zuckerberg caused outrage by saying his platform should not delete such comments.

Zuckerberg's remarks have fuelled further criticism of Facebook after governments and rights groups have attacked it for not doing enough to stem hate speech.
