Facebook blocks Netanyahu chatbot on Election Day
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Facebook on Tuesday after the social network blocked a “chatbot” from his right-wing Likud party’s account for violating election day rules.
The problematic posts were apparently taken down and no longer appeared on Netanyahu’s Facebook page. Asked about its intervention on Mr Netanyahu’s account, Facebook said in a statement it works with “elections commissions around the world to help protect the integrity of elections.” Mr Netanyahu, who is battling for his political career, has been trying to mobilise his base by warning them of low supporter turnout.His voice hoarse from weeks of campaigning, the veteran leader took to the streets and social media, at one point using a megaphone in Jerusalem’s bus station, to urge voters to extend his unbroken decade in power.
