In a major policy shift for the world’s biggest social media network, Facebook banned white nationalism and white separatism on its platform Tuesday. Facebook will also begin directing users who try to post content associated with those ideologies to a nonprofit that helps people leave hate groups, Motherboard has learned.
The new policy, which will be officially implemented next week, highlights the malleable nature of Facebook’s policies, which govern the speech of more than 2 billion users worldwide. And Facebook still has to effectively enforce the policies if it is really going to diminish hate speech on its platform. The policy will apply to both Facebook and Instagram.
Last year, a Motherboard investigation found that, though Facebook banned “white supremacy” on its platform, it explicitly allowed “white nationalism” and “white separatism.” After backlash from civil rights groups and historians who say there is no difference between the ideologies, Facebook has decided to ban all three, two members of Facebook’s content policy team said.

FBI Director Broke With Trump And Said White Supremacy Is A “Persistent, Pervasive Threat” To The US
“The danger, I think, of white supremacists, violent extremism, or any other kind of violent extremism is, of course, significant,” Wray told the House Appropriations Committee, when asked how his agency is addressing the threat. “It’s a persistent, pervasive threat. We tackle it both through our joint terrorism task forces on the domestic side as well as the civil rights program on the criminal side through hate crime enforcement.”

When did Trump say white supremacy isn't a threat?

Every other person? That's only like 50%. According to the left, 99.99999% of every white person who isn't them is a violent white supremacist, despite the fact that said leftists are typically violent and hate people of all colors who disagree with them and their unicorn logic.
