Facebook reinstate chatbot feature on Netanyahu's page

Facebook has now reinstated the chatbot features on Benjamin Netanyahu's page after the prime minister promised to not publish poll results, an act that is illegal on Israel's election day.

The chat features were also restored on the condition that Netanyahu would not be conducting any radio or television interviews, which are also banned under Israeli election rules.

Netanyahu for his part has already broken this rule by speaking twice on Israeli radio and posted a video of himself on Facebook talking about the polls.
