Facebook has banned “dangerous” extremists, such as far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and outspokenly anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan, from all its media platforms, the company announced Thursday.

“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology,” a Facebook spokesperson told CNN Business on Thursday. “The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.”

The social media giant also purged accounts belonging to far-right figures Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos and failed Senate candidate Paul Nehlen.

Facebook already “unpublished” four pages connected to Alex Jones and InfoWars last August, but this new ban prevents him from posting on Facebook-owned Instagram as well.

That probably had to find a black face to throw out there.. To placate the white supremacists and conservatives so they won’t feel like they were “targeted”...

'cause Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to what he can say to you...

Maybe cause he's always calling for the younger generations to take the violent actions he didn't have the balls to take when he was in his youth.... Or something like that...

Well damn.

I still wanna know all the programs he set up for the black community

Makes sense to me

Farrakhan has promoted love, truth, and unity. The FOI, MGTGCC, MUI, and everything else they've done have proven the NOI to be THE most successful black organization in American history. He's never been anti-Semite, never stated he hates Jews, and they've continuously lied claiming he has. Agreeing that he's dangerous and deserves to banned is like saying Nipsey Hussel should of been banned as well.

Farrakhan is the only person I know of qualified to be labeled a "black leader". A label others seem to throw around too loosely IMO.
