JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Facebook on Tuesday after the social network blocked a “chatbot” from his right-wing Likud party’s account for violating election day rules.
The function, a type of automated software that simulates a conversation with a user, was running again within a few hours. Israel’s Central Elections Committee said the chatbot had been used to publish poll data in contravention of regulations.The problematic posts were apparently taken down and no longer appeared on his Facebook page.
Asked about its intervention on Netanyahu’s account, Facebook said in a statement it works with “elections commissions around the world to help protect the integrity of elections”.
