SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook Inc has removed dozens of user accounts plus other Pages and Groups on its social network associated with the Northwest Front, a group pushing for a white nation-state in the US Pacific Northwest.

The removal included 36 Facebook accounts, 10 Instagram accounts, nine private groups and nine Pages, according to a company spokeswoman. Facebook's content review processes have been under some strain as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. Facebook employees and content reviewers also are working remotely. Many of the content reviewers are contractors, which means they are unable to access Facebook's systems from home, chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said last week.
