BNP and EDL among far-right groups banned by Facebook

The British National Party (BNP) and the English Defence League (EDL) are among a number of far-right groups that have been banned by Facebook.

The groups, as well as key members of their leadership, have been banned from both Facebook or Instagram for violating rules around promoting hate and violence.

Facebook's policy does not allow groups or individuals which engage in "terrorist activity, organised hate, mass or serial murder, human trafficking or organised violence or criminal activity".

Long overdue. These people have on legitimacy and should be de-platformed.

England sure has a lot of hate groups ... is it the bad weather or the bad food?

It's the UK. You can be banned in the UK for supporting British national pride and defending English.

You're supposed to be ashamed of your British heritage and learn another language besides English.
