Facebook suspends automatic messaging on Netanyahu's page

Facebook confirmed on Tuesday that it had suspended the use of automatic messaging on Netanyahu's official page. 

A spokesperson said Netanyahu's page broke Israeli election law by distributing polling statistics three days prior to Tuesday's vote.

"We're working with election officials around the world to ensure to help ensure the integrity of the elections," the spokesperson said in a statement.

"Our policy explicitly states that developers are required to obey all laws applicable in the country where their application is accessible. Therefore we’ve suspended the [Netanyahu] bot’s activity, in light of the violation of local law, until the close of the polls” at 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

This latest suspension comes a week after Facebook temporarily suspended Netanyahu's chatbot after it sent users a message stating that "Arabs want to annihilate us all-women, children and men."
