Trending: Congress Takes One On Two, Hard Hits Facebook & BJP, FB Strikes Back

BJP faced some shocking allegations from the opposition Congress stating that the government is controlling American social networking service Facebook and accused the party of spreading fake news. Congress leader, former party President Rahul Gandhi breathed fire on the government and even mentioned the story carried out by a leading United States Daily which maintained that some of the controversial remarks made by a BJP Leader violated the hate-speech rules of Facebook. Rahul Gandhi went on to say that not only BJP but also the RSS controls Facebook and WhatsApp that's why hate-speech of BJP leader didn't land him in any sort of trouble.

However, Facebook said that we don't have any ties with BJP, and whenever they receive reports of hate-speech we will take action and hit back at opposition Congress party's claims of batting a blind eye at hate speech of ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders.

A Facebook spokesperson thrashed all the allegations of ignoring the hate speech that can potentially incite violence and said they don't have any alliance with any political party.  The Spokesperson went on to say that they will not entertain any sort of hate speech and content and the hate-speech policies are applicable across the globe without any restrictions.
