Facebook Says White Nationalist Video Doesn't Break New Policy Against White Nationalism

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ca37bade4b0f2df8669c196?57a
Facebook vowed last week to curb hateful content on its platform by extending its policies against white supremacy to cover posts that praise white nationalism and separatism.

Now it’s unclear what that new policy actually means, if anything. On Tuesday, HuffPost showed a Facebook spokesperson a video on Facebook in which prominent Canadian white nationalist Faith Goldy laments white “replacement” and demands that Jews and people of color repay the white European countries they’ve “invaded.”

The spokesperson said that no policy had been broken, not even the social media giant’s new policy banning the promotion or praise of white nationalism.

In a much-discussed move last week, Facebook had issued a statement declaring that its policies banning white supremacist ideology and hate groups weren’t enough. The company said it would add “praise or support for white nationalism and white separatism” to the list of things that violate its terms of service, and noted that those rules would extend to Instagram, which it owns.
