Facebook bans white nationalism, separatism on its platforms
The company previously allowed such material even though it has long banned white supremacists.
The social network said that it didn't apply the ban previously to expressions of white nationalism because it linked such expressions with broader concepts of nationalism and separatism - such as American pride or Basque separatism (which are still allowed).
But civil rights groups and academics called this view "misguided" and have long pressured the company to change its stance.
Facebook said it concluded after months of "conversations" with them that white nationalism and separatism could not be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organised hate groups.

For some reason this rubs me the wrong way and I'm not even a Facebook user.
