New York Facebook announced Wednesday that it would ban all"praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism."
The move came less than two weeks after the suspect in the terror attack at two New Zealand mosques streamed the massacre live on the platform. A manifesto allegedly written by the suspect reveals white nationalist views.
That's just fucking weird then.
And they should. Hope they do the same with Antifa, antisemitism and communism
What does this mean? What is 'representation,' vs. 'support'? Who decides what 'support for white nationalism' means? What about other ethnographic-nationalists? I'm generally against censoring people instead of offering counterarguments. And it also creates 'forbidden fruit.'
How about banning ALL support and representation of ALL forms of nationalism and separatism.
Facebook is shit
And the others?
Facebook..... Your article failed with the first word. The more you know......
Will CNN ban the use of 'old white men'?
Ok... now do other races. Go...
Are they also going to ban the Black Panthers and other anti-white organizations? I just don't like this one direction street. A decision like this should be applied to all separatism organizations. By banning only one side is racist.
I see from comments below people having tizzy’s over this saying it’s a 1st ad violation. It’s not. FB is a private enterprise & they can set the rules for TOS. You know those agreements you click yes to for FB & Twitter to use their ap. You agreed to follow their TOS.
Only took 15 years to ban this form of hate and racism. Your still way behind, facebook. But good job on this
Just do what you really want and ban all whites. Don’t hide behind this white supremacy thing. We know you hate white people. You support black nationalism and Islamic extremism.
What’s separatism? Will the PQ in Quebec not be allowed to post?
You don't already do that?
facebook Should even ban all kinds of extremism What ever part of world it is Islamic, Christian, hindu Any ideological extremism
So they must ban Harvard for black and white graduation separatism. Ban the NAACP. This is not a good idea. If you ban white nationalism/separatism, you must ban black, brown, yellow separatism and pride as well. Otherwise it’s just white racism.
So the WILL be banning Trump after all?
I see a lot of hate-filled anti-immigrant posts on FB every day. Wonder how many friends I'll have left after the cull.
How about AntiSemitism?
Good, the socioeconomic and biological separation trend perpetuated by ignorant people has picked up over the last 10 years.
Even though I am against white nationalism, I am even more against censorship of ideas. The answer to bad speech is more speech. It's why we have the 1st Amendment.
Facebook is dying. Frig em!
Zionism still ok tho ✡️👌🏻
Fuck Facebook anyway. But if you banning shit do it right. Ban BLM and all other type of stupid groups.
facebook under the first Amendment all speech is protected and if someone takes you to court you will lose because you cannot suppress someone just because you don't like something someone says.
Goodbye TuckerCarlson from FB?
Facebook will be gone in a year, along with CNN.
And for the record, the party of racism and hate is,,,, the Democrats. Don’t take my word for it. Consult history for the facts.
I understand they're pieces of shit, but let me laugh at the racists.
You get more honest news and reporting in North Korea than on CNN, MSNBC and Facebook.
Do people think Verizon and ATT should have access to your phone calls and texts and be able to break in mid phone call or text to tell you about something cool to buy? Why is that not ok but Facebook doing it is?
I agree with this. No racial group should lay exclusive claim to ANY land. That's why I can't support the Palestinian movement.
I’m so happy that we’re trusting facebook to squash the first amendment
Kind of creepy that facebook knows what is going on on peoples private pages, FB needs to be declared a utility and not allowed to spy on it's customers, and sell their data to advertising companies and god knows who else. Phone companies can't spy on their customers why can FB?
Facebook is not the free speech police. Instead, why don’t they STOP banning conservative views and supporting liberal ones. Remain neutral or become irrelevant.(myspace)We do not need social media censorship, what we need is to stop letting 2 parties of politicians divide us.
You guys ever try NOT bringing skin color in a conversation? What’s wrong with being a nationalist? Aka loving your country the most... You are BEYOND A TRASH NETWORK spreading division in our GREAT COUNTRY CNNisRACIST
So if someone's only way to communicate with a friend or family member is through facebook they can't express an opinion? OK, yeah, I think it's time for facebook to be regulated to ensure people are allowed to freely communicate, even if they do say bad naughty words.
Are they going to Ban Beto O'Rourke supporters?
Good.
However Facebook will not ban all the lies, hate and bullshit that CNN posts.
It’s way late, but better late,than never.
facebook censoring people is not a good move. Once you do that you set the precedent for what comes next
Look at all the tolerant leftist thrilled about censorship. Free speech is even speech we don't agree with or want to hear.
Facebook will over reach supporting the political views and social positions of its management. It’s inevitable. US is much better off if social media platforms do not restrict speech.
I’d like to separate myself from feeling obliged to like photos of my friends’ ugly kids.
That’s fine I guess. I’m not a fan of any racism of any kind, although the constitution protects free speech even if it’s abhorrent. I’m a tad confused because I haven’t seen any FB posts where anyone supports white supremacy.
Пежо...
To what end...? Free speech is... FREE! Banning racist white nationalist won’t cure racism. They’re a stain on our democracy yet still deserve the right to speak. It’s about who’s listening and how the message is received. We becoming a dystopian society. We’re so much better!
Facebook has one foot in the mMyspace grave. Who cares
What do they consider “white” nationalism? They are probably going to block others in the name of “white” nationalism... think about it folks ... why I hardly am on Facebook anymore because they are censoring conservatives, now they will try to put us in the same category 🙄
How about the anti semites of the DNC
Oh bullshit. I got banned for 30 days for calling out a white supremacist. I asked him if he marched with tiki torches. FB said it was hate speech. The crap that guy was spewing was hate speech.
So BLM is ok
What about anti semitism and racism from groups like BLM
Thou art facebook announces announcements...
Seems a bit specific yet vague at the same time. I’m sure this will go well
About dam time
Again I say who under 65 uses Facebook? Tell them the last Members Only jacket is on sale. And AOL says they got mail.. Facebook please!
They better do it for all other support for any other race
how 'bout anti-white insinuations ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you facebook Hope this expands to all types of hate being spread on such platforms. NoToRacism Empathy Equality
😂 Censorship I’d rather they ban white supremacy but then they’d have to ban America
First they came for White Nationalists and I said nothing
Censoring people is a slippery slope... even if they are pieces of shit
Good
Meanwhile, Israel say's 'Go take some land from your neighbors and build a house on it. Don't worry we will kill the owners if they complain. It's ok USA and CNN condone our war crimes and murder of children.' Would you build a house on CNN's property?
That's pretty dope'...
Lovely. And as we know, this will mean exactly what they want it to mean and will be applied without any sort of fairness or evenhandedness, against anyone who they simply don't want to let speak.
Never ban speech. ANY speech.
If only white nationalist worshipped allah theyd be untouchable, itll be funny when they figure that one out, liberal heads will explode kind of like when an allah lover throws a gay guy off a building, or shoots up a gay night club.
Separatism? They might as well pre-block everyone in Quebec 😐
But will leave Trump Supporters alone.
Black pride.. Latino pride is just as violent. I know. I’m latino.
just what cnn wants to block free speech.
But black nationalism, even racism, is fine
Problem is, they have no clue what they are doing walkaway
Zieg heil BLM
And it only took years of people saying it would lead to violence and a bunch of people being killed. Great job, Facebook!
I am lord
MARKZAKARBURG U deserve allot.. May ALLAH show u da RIGHTEOUS path(ameen)
About time.
But will they do the same for BLM and Antifa?🙄
Trump supporters won’t be happy
👍
Good. Ban it everywhere. Fumigate the entire internet of these manlets.
