The title of this article needs to be changed. There is a world of difference between "anti-immigrant comments" and hate speech that incites violence (which is what's really being discussed here.) @dang

Yes, why was the title changed to "anti-immigrant" rather than the more accurate "hate speech" that the original article uses?

Facebook previously would allow hate speech(like calling for violence), but take down comments by people talking about sex.

Changed now. Submitted title was "Facebook, Google, Twitter agree to delete anti-immigrant comments: Germany".

There's probably no way to make this title neutral so we might as well stick with the original even though people object to it.
