NEW: Facebook bans far-right leaders including Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer for being “dangerous”
Facebook said it banned several far-right accounts on Thursday, citing “dangerous” behavior. Paul Joseph Watson, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Laura Loomer are among those purged.
Two anti-Semitic political figures, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and failed Republican congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, were also banned. Facebook has previously faced pressure to bar far-right accounts that promote hate or violence. In August, the social media site banned Jones and Infowars for violating rules against hate speech and glorifying violence. But the bans didn't affect everyone. Some Infowars associates like Watson, and other far-right figures like continued to break site rules. Infowars was also allowed to remain on Instagram, a Facebook-owned platform, until the Thursday bans.
