Facebook shuts down pages affiliated with Richard Spencer

Facebook has taken down two pages associated with the white supremacist Richard Spencer, Vice reported.

The two pages belonged to Spencer’s National Policy Institute and his website altright.com.

Facebook confirmed to BuzzFeed that the pages were shut down and said Facebook does not allow hate groups on their site.

Links to both pages — which had less than 15,000 followers total — display error messages.
