An Update to How We Address Movements and Organizations Tied to Violence - About Facebook
about.fb.com
Expanding our Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy to address organizations and movements that have demonstrated significant risks to public safety.

Actions they are taking include removing groups from Facebook, limiting recommendations, reducing their rank in the news feed, reduce in search, prohibiting ads, and prohibiting fundraising.

For militia organizations and those encouraging riots, including some who may identify as Antifa, we’ve initially removed over 980 groups, 520 Pages and 160 ads from Facebook. We’ve also restricted over 1,400 hashtags related to these groups and organizations on Instagram.
