Facebook has imposed a ban on a dozen far-right individuals and organisations that it says "spread hate" How many far-left groups are banned?Looking at the political spectrum from the far left to the far right which political parties are closest to this lot, where does the party that you vote for if you vote or support sit in relation to these people, are there any parties in between the party you vote for and this lot or does it go from right to far right of your party and straight to them? does your party act as a nursery ground for these people, do you know or care.Have a think about the demos recently, this week on climate change or the remain 1 million march and others, how do they do it do they use violence, are they doing it for themselves or for a greater good. What about the f-right how do they conduct themselves are they a group you would want to join, what about your kids would you be happy for them to protest about climate change or join this mob. The ban includes: The British National Party and its ex-leader Nick Griffin Britain First, its leader Paul Golding and former deputy leader Jayda Fransen English Defence League and its founding member Paul Ray Knights Templar International and its promoter Jim Dowson National Front and its leader Tony Martin Jack Renshaw, a neo-Nazi who plotted to murder a Labour MPhttps://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47974579
About time Facebook - but better late than never.

I don't understand your point but if it is that no Marxists are banned ergo they are decent people I suspect you are a Marxist. I don't expect anything else from Facebook. It is a total waste of time and I won't go near it. Although I expect the Left will eventually f**k up Twitter for me.
The band haven't been imposed because the people involved have right wing views. They've been imposed because the people and organisations involved are hate-mongers encouraging violence.If people and organisations with left wing views are similarly encouraging violence and spreading hate, they too should be banned. But for that, not for being left or right wing.
It's a feature of their approach, not a bug.Minor example. 5-6 years ago, one Friday evening, every single car on our road had "EDL" scraped into the bonnet. That's indicative of the person they attract. Bellends who just want to be let off the leash to be antisocial, and dress it up as some sort of political statement.It's the way the Far Right has always operated. A few very intelligent manipulators, encouraging anti-social types who just want a ruck.
