As per news report of NDTV, Imran Khan, in an open letter posted on Twitter on Sunday, said "growing Islamophobia" was encouraging extremism and violence worldwide, especially through social media platforms such as Facebook. "I would ask you to place a similar ban on Islamophobia and hate against Islam for Facebook that you have put in place for the Holocaust," Khan said. This month, Facebook said it was updating its hate speech policy to ban content that denied or distorted the Holocaust.
