“Individuals and organizations who spread hate, attack, or call for the exclusion of others on the basis of who they are have no place our services,” a Facebook spokesperson said.

The ability of Facebook and other platforms to effectively remove offensive, hateful or graphic content came into question last month, when live streamed video of a mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, was still available hours after Facebook and other major social media platforms claimed to have removed it.
Facebook said their ban extends beyond the groups named on Monday to all affiliates, including linked pages and groups, and it will remove content that expresses support or praise for them. The platform said it will be investing in artificial intelligence to proactively remove content that violates its policies before it is reported.
“The content he posts ... was regularly successfully reported and removed before this new policy was in place. He always comes back. Facebook will have to keep on top of it,” Balgord said.
