Stay up to date on the developing stories making headlines.Facebook has removed nearly 200 social media accounts linked to white supremacy groups that planned to encourage members to attend protests over police killings of black people — in some cases with weapons, company officials said Friday.and Instagram were tied to the Proud Boys and the American Guard, two hate groups already banned on the platforms.
Both the Proud Boys and American Guard had been banned from Facebook for violating rules prohibiting hate speech. Facebook said it will continue to remove new pages, groups or accounts created by users trying to circumvent the ban. Facebook announced two other actions on Friday to root out networks of fake accounts used in attempts to manipulate public opinion in Africa and Iraq:
The accounts and related pages were used to impersonate local citizens, politicians and news organizations. More than 3.8 million accounts followed one or more of the pages, and more than 171,000 people had followed one of the fake Instagram accounts.
Don't give Facebook too much credit. I was put in a timeout for responding to the question 'why do black people kill black people' with 'white people kill white people'.
So they say
Trump’s silent majority?
Fb and Twitter needs to be banned!
Kool
Finally!
Ung FB Ng Abscbn fake din . Salamat GMA7 💓 sa patas na Pagbabalita. We need ABSCBN to remain closed 😂 junkABS junkRappler
zuckerberg: you say that facebook 'removed' 190 accounts of hate groups making bad plans, and u did not divulge details.🧐 WHY you did not work on this with hate-crime agents of the FBI who monitor those kind of groups..?!!!?😬😬🧐🧐 you think 'removing' account solves this.?😬
Today's Western democratic system is flawed! This flaw is... today's democratic system allows someone to use 'democratic freedom' to attack and destroy democracy! This system must be changed!
Did they bother to define “Hate” while they were at it because I’m betting their definition was somehow synonymous with “white”.
In a speech to Parliament in late-1774, King George had denounced the “daring spirit of resistance and disobedience to the law” which seemed to be spreading like wildfire across the American continent.
Not enough Facebook
It’s a gunshot wound sir but no need to worry, here’s some Tylenol.
At least they're gone.

190
Patrick Henry addressed the opposition with due respect. In his speech he emphasize his view that there is a need to fight for truth and God's purpose. His 'Give me Liberty or give me Death!' is based on his belief that the alternative to fight British rule.
I think every company has the right to select its clients
As if...
200..
What in the world took you so long Mark ? Wake up !!!!
ikeuchi_saori ありがとう。 THANK YOU
Thank you
Two hundred? There are probably 20,000!
That’s all
Are you sure they did?
Only 200? That's less than 0.1% of how many they are allowing.
YUP !!! THEY ARE THERE TO KEEP YOU SILENT!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA..
Zuckerberg sucks. If you post a picture of Biden fondeling a child they block you.
Meh. Facebook is still allowing DJT to peddle the bullshit about Joe Scarborough. Pay no attention to Zuck’s gesture. It’s small, just like him.
They should remove Impotus account. He is the biggest hate peddler in the country.
Facebook and Instagram banned me for life for posting the same things I post on Twitter.
I have long deleted FACEBOOK 😂😂
Do we live in the USA or Russia or china
Did you remove all the terrorist BLM accounts?
He probably left all the anti-China groups up.
Time to delete your Facebook account
Only 200?
Dear face book, What about free speech? If 'you' must remove 'hate' groups, then I suggest removing all religious sites as well because they teach hate by all the lessons of inequality.
in fact, there are thousand or even million more facebook fake accounts that exist in hate speech
Only 200? Tokenism! That’s a pimple on the tumour.
‘Bout time. But the work’s not done yet.
200 accounts is nothing for antifa
Did they remove the POTUS or they FORGOT?
Probably were truth accounts and they didn’t like it!
Was any of them antifa
I wonder why trump didn't mention these terrorist groups in his speeches? My God. Look at what their plans are.
Delete Facebook
Excellent move.
there are more facebook virusbook there are more, every single Trump follower
That seems low
Like the GOP?
DeleteFacebook
You mean they removed innocent accounts left hate groups.
About time
Not enough though. Facebook needs to remove false propaganda from Trump and his acolytes that are actual lies trying to sway elections.
And define a hate group? Likely Anything that doesn’t match investor funding.
But using chemical weapons and firing projectiles on citizens is perfectly okay....
Any antifa ones?
Does that include BLM (what do we want? Dead cops) and Antifa?
lcharlebois1 Too little too late and I don’t really believe it.
They need to take down the Antifa groups as well then....
MarkZuckerbergBelongsInJail
That must mean police departments can’t have Facebook pages.
and there are no black hate groups?
I thought they weren’t going to decide what’s truth and what’s lie. What’s legitimate and what’s not. Let’s not have two faces Facebook
ce9461 Reparations should be on the table. The world is watching.
Well that’s ...something
FFS, they got 'em all, huh? Only kidding, zuckonit himself cares solely for his own freckled power.
Antifa?
Selective hate groups? Because we know if it's hatred they agree with it won't be removed lol
REALLY
Like Antifa?
I'm sure they weren't bias at all huh?
Facebook not enough, I’ve already deleted my account and feel great about it.
Hey that great how about if they also start verify that you are a real people because there a how lot me scammers on there look what happen to Craigslist personnel oh yeah Facebook make it to easy sense you case sent by message!!!!!!
A drop of water in the ocean of Facebook.
That awkward moment when the POTUS has his account deleted.
200 down, 20,000 to go...
I think Facebook will continue to see stock price drop. Like waterfall hopefully
Buenisimooooo!!!🔝🔝👏👏 ☮☮💜💜🌍🌍
I got a stern warning from Zuckerberg for using the term 'purge' when discussing the removal of violent police. Apparently 'purge' is a SM no no.
This early
Excluding hate groups supporting liberal causes.
Wrong Facebook takes out posting that is sharing truth! Censorship and discrimination
That’s it? There’s 200 just in my friends list? This is a do nothing company. Report on Facebook when Mark does the right thing and put a stop to all of it
About time, keep going!
PRETEND that you cared. Facebook has the most hateful Stanford profesor pick n choose.
Did they remove all TrumpCampaign accounts?
The GOP is a hate group.
iran support hate speech in all the world
Are you Looking for Creative awesome doodle and outline over your portrait? I am a doodle artist and i will create design in your profile picture contract-
They should do that to South Sudanese who are on Facebook.
A wonderful start.
well done guys
Facebook does not work; before, but now it's complete rubbish
👍
But leaves Trump
Zuck did hire those “fact-checkers” but refuse to use them due to Trump
Finally. Does that include all of 45's posts?
Did they remove the account of the country's premier hate group, the SPLC?
And Russian klan trolls add 600 New ones .. They begin this in 2016 there’s so far ahead of you Facebook
what took so long DeleteFacebook
Hopefully BlackLivesMatter is gone for good. Not only are they a black power hate group,they are tools of the Russians Russians Russians Russians Maddow MSNBC
How many were Berniebros and MAGAs?
Because they know the cancellation mob is coming! 💸
And they missed u?
These groups should be identified for the public to see.
Was the Trump administration one of them?
I got a cousin who needs to be removed I bet. She talks about BLM and whites every day until the sun goes down and I’m tired of it frankly -Donnie
That's ALL DeleteFacebookNow
Well look who's playing catchup.
That is nothing. They could do alot more. Zuckerberg is full of nonsense. He's not fooling anyone.
CNN TheDailyShow colbertlateshow about time, but keep going! And wonder if recent pressure n disgust with Zuckerberg finally prompted action? $ no longer his bottom line?
That’s it just 200?
Have they remove BlackLivesMatter yet? Or AntifaTerrorist pages yet? If not, they are complicit in terrorism.
They need to take down the private groups as well.
UHMMM FREE SPEECH? THEY WANT TO REMOVE ONLY THE ONES THAT WILL HURT THE DEMOCRATS... TOO CLOSE TO ELECTION..
That’s a step in the right direction. I’m glad to hear it. Perhaps Facebook can now work on canceling the accounts that are consistently full of glaringly false information , including false info about political candidates & elections.
Just 200?!
Good. But why would they stop there? Why wouldn’t they also stop Antifa and other Leftwing Anarchists? Don’t worry ABC. We know you’re not interested in finding out. And neither is Facebook. You Clowns!
Facebook you can still DoBetter do more
They took down Police Department accounts?!
Facebook should be removed for hating hate groups. riots2020 AntifaTERRORISTA
Only 200?🧐
About time
Is Antifa one of them?
But strangely enough. None of Trumps?
Why don't they remove ccp propaganda accounts?
Wonderful 👍👏
They are going to have to do better than that for me to return to FB!
Finally
Why are liberals still on? They are the biggest hate group
Was Trump’s one of the 200? Him and his administration are basically a hate group!
DeleteFacebook DeleteYourPublicDiary
BLM ? AntifaTerrorist ?
There’s at least half million hate group accounts on fb.
But...not that btch in the baby house. They’re his strong arm! Targeting those who are powerless and supporting the ones in power....typical do-nothing behavior!
Twitter says it's pro freedom of speech, but yet supresses the freedoms given to Americans. This proves to me Twitter and other 'news rags' are anti-American Socialist institutions.
Now remove black lives matter. Look at the violence they create with weapons. There should be no groups of violence for any side allowed. This just makes for a huge lawsuit.
How can anyone remove people or groups who support 1 race but not remove ones who support other races with the same use of violence.
200? that's an umbrella in a hurricane. laughable
Facebook is a fascist cult of killers.
That’s a good start
HOW ABOUT THESE:
About time!
Is Mark expecting applause for this?
just white hate groups?
Finally
I'm sure those so-called hate groups are conservatives groups....
fake
Only twenty thousand to go.
But they allow BLM terrorist to post daily
EvaColin9 Thousands n thousands more to go.
Boycott Facebook
Someone should remove Facebook as well
That is nothing! 200? Get serious
Great.
Well I feel better now. Guess we can all go home.
Wooptie Do.. so what! Why should they get a big fucking clap for doing something that they’re supposed to do.
Let me piss on this forest fire
Are yours still active?
Facebook has a moderatetor who is definately an Islamic. The moment he keyed in Muslims , bans the user. He has a problem in person about his pseudo religion and blocks people who speak about muslims. Shame to him to be employed by FB.
That’s it?
Well, well, well. Proud Boys and American Guard. Soooooo, NOT Antifa, after all. Imagine that.
It needs to be more like 2,000,000. Same for Twitter. They are both the reasons we have so many problems worldwide.
In other countries 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They still allow racists to post, when people report them it says it doesn't go against community standards...bullshit, watch me say somthing n get taken down, bastards
WAS TRUMPS REMOVED ALSO?
They weren't Russian enough?
Good. Zuckerburg is running scared. There are rumours of strikes at Facebook because he's a Trump lover and won't check the pres's lies.
Aguardando atitude como está aqui no Brasil
It’s about time
About👏🏼damn👏🏾time👏🏿
'Hate groups.' The Newspeak term for 'groups whose politics or opinions we disagree with.' Words have no concrete meanings to liberals.
Antifa? As if we have racist laws in effect and when equality, rights and opportunities are more then ever in this country for everyone. That's the product of what is being taught in our schools from an early age and the leftist media that constantly makes minorities as victims
They got rid of Trumps account?
And what about the leftist Antifa anarchists and others that are doing more violence, disruptions, and disturbances more then anyone?
Out of how many? And would have done sh*t if the current spotlight wasn’t on him. This is all after the horse has long bolted. Genuine integrity means he would have done it from day one.
Peacekeeper876 200 out of tens of millions.
Finally doing something. Remains to be seen how much.
You tell us this as if you expect us to pat you on the head, give you a cookie, and be satisfied with your contrite behavior, Facebook. No. What you NEED to do is tell us all what you'll do next, what is your plan, the course of action you will take to make things better?
Now do that 1M times and we should be pretty jib.
HATE? . OPPOSITION not hate. NAZISM & the KKK ARE HATE GROUPS. IT is not hateful to oppose them. Was it hateful to fight for the UNION or Fight NAZISM in WWII? FOR WHAT DO THESE COLORS STAND🇺🇸OUR Soldiers didn’t die for a Flag WE fought for our Country. WE THE PEOPLE🇺🇸
Twitter isn't any better when it comes to hating!!
Project Lincoln? You already have. Being them back.?even playing field.
I still see The Greens, AntiFa, the CCP and the MSM have their pages up. These groups have done a great job of promoting hatred of any person who either supports Trump or is not a socialist. Every day on every page, hatred, and calls for revolution against the 'other' people.
Only after Zuckerberg got MASSIVE backlash.
Not enough.
Cool
FUCKING FINALLY
Finally, he's awake.
It’s a start... not enough though
Wow. Ok. 200k more. And maybe we are good.
There are literally thousands of them, 200 doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
Trumps Army?
Only 200? What about the biggest hate group of them all: realDonaldTrump 🤔 BlackLivesMatter WereWaiting
It's a start. Keep the pressure on Facebook.
.01% is a good start
worthwhile but sticky-tape policing is not the answer education education education and even more education is needed in the fightback
Good start. Now remove Trump’s.
Trump?
That Sheriff will never be invited back to CNN. Ever...
Its not about free speech. They can all go and build their own websites and say whatever they'd wish to say. Faecbook doesn't have to provide them with a platform. Facebook is not the gatekeeper of free speech. It does not say Facebook next to free speech in the constitution.
A good start, but theyre missing at least a couple of zeroes at the end.
People started deleting that app and their accounts so he had to give us something. If “here nigga damn” was a person
So you saying Facebook removed itself
It’s about time
Facebook has removed nearly 200 social media accounts linked to white supremacy groups that planned to encourage members to attend protests over police killings of black people — in some cases with weapons, company officials said Friday.
They forgot to take down CNN
200 accounts out of how many millions of users? This is ridiculous The number should have been closer to 20,000 accounts
Lol funny, seeing as Facebook is the biggest hate group account on the platform. Got my timeline bleeding with Trump opinion surveys. Bye Felicia.
What about Trump?
But not ANTIFA......
about time facebook did something about all this hate groups organizing using facebook, as a tool
