7533907261?profile=RESIZE_400xOn Wednesday, Facebook announced that it would remove the pages of groups that support violent riots, including many antifa organizations. Among many others, Facebook removed the Pacific-Northwest Youth Liberation Front, an antifa group that incited violent riots across the country on July 25. Facebook did not just remove antifa groups, but also militia organizations and organizations linked to the QAnon conspiracy.

“We already remove content calling for or advocating violence and we ban organizations and individuals that proclaim a violent mission. However, we have seen growing movements that, while not directly organizing violence, have celebrated violent acts, shown that they have weapons and suggest they will use them, or have individual followers with patterns of violent behavior,” Facebook announced in a statement Wednesday.

“So today we are expanding our Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy to address organizations and movements that have demonstrated significant risks to public safety but do not meet the rigorous criteria to be designated as a dangerous organization and banned from having any presence on our platform,” the social media company added. “While we will allow people to post content that supports these movements and groups, so long as they do not otherwise violate our content policies, we will restrict their ability to organize on our platform.”

“For militia organizations and those encouraging riots, including some who may identify as Antifa, we’ve initially removed over 980 groups, 520 Pages and 160 ads from Facebook. We’ve also restricted over 1,400 hashtags related to these groups and organizations on Instagram,” Facebook reported.

Under the new policy, Facebook will “impose restrictions to limit the spread of content from Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts.” The company will also “remove Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts where we identify discussions of potential violence, including when they use veiled language and symbols particular to the movement to do so.”

  • So, if someone says they will resist the terrorist groups with bullets, are they going to be banned?  Just asking for a friend...

  • Trump did a royal number on ISIS, he can do the same on Antifa and BLM

  • It sure didn't take long for them to take down the post showing if you enter www.Antafi.com you get the Biden website asking for donations. Once conservatives saw that it was promplty remeoved. The Democrats are the supporters of Antifa for sure. I will be voting for Trump and Republicans in November.

  • long over due..........Since Antifa is a terrorist, anarchy group that only creates assault, destruction and death......they should be outlawed, and treated like the Nazi party or communist party.  Also overdue is the mass rounding up and jailing all Antifa activists when caught on the street firebombing, attack (truck driver) anybody etc. Because the cities that are under seige with riots ie Portland ...nearly 3 months of nightly riots refuse to act against the attacks on their cities, if a couple of these bastards got shot while in the act of assault, looting, firebombing......watch the rest of them scatter and decide death is not for them.  These are chicken sh.t morons who if.......faced a real armed challenge and recieve a few casualties of their own, would run off when faced with armed citizens .........since the police are useless in those cities. 

    • Rich, what are you talking about? Trump cleaned up the mess obummer left behind, whose eight years were marked by riots, chaos and fiscal disarray. Americans don't want to go back to 2016, the want more from Trump who is obviously making America great again.

  • Notice their first target was Militia. The rest is good but I wonder about militia's trying to organize.

  • Believe it when I see it

  • Antifa fighting fascism is an anti-american terrorist organization. Shut Antifa down! Arrest the leaders! Punish them to the full extent of the law for insurrection and treason! 

    • I agree with you.

       

  • Just a cover because they want to ban the Militia who want to stop the scum Antifa
