New York – The far-right Proud Boys and their founder, Gavin McInnes, have been banned from Facebook and Instagram because of policies against hate groups.

A spokeswoman for Facebook, which also owns Instagram, says the company takes action against hate groups to keep its community safe.
McInnes said in an email the ban, first reported on Tuesday, will likely affect the Proud Boys’ ability to recruit new members.
He said Wednesday the ban shows that “the left” is ramping up “hysteria” with “fake news and censorship” ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the all-male Proud Boys a hate group. They say they are simply “western chauvinists.”
Several people were arrested after Proud Boys members clashed with anti-fascist protesters in Manhattan on Oct. 12 following a speech by McInnes
Facebook and Instagram will be banning the Republikaaner Party as a hate group soon. And note the MAGA hat on the alt-yid rav in the photo. Nice beard and payess too.
Hashomer s/b banned from this site for his “hate” against human beings
But Farakhan and ANTIFA get a platform on Facebook, makes sense to me, said no one ever.
Don’t know much about this group but if they do promote violence then while I think it’s one sided I still support blocking them . However you need to distinguish between violence and hate or tne alt right and Nazis . Alt right believes in white pride like aacp for blacks . They are Not pro violence
Is Louis Farrakhan is banned? How about Al Sharpton? And the list is long.
