      That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Meta knows that things like white nationalism drives engagement, so they don’t do anything about it.

        Facebook (Fuck them, I’m not calling it Meta, its stupid) does do something, though.

        It actively encourages it, because right wing extremists are a big chunk of their revenue. Since right wing extremists are more engaged (obsessed) than anyone else, and click more ads than anyone else.

        Right wing extremists are the honey pot.

        Which is why regular people can get banned for the most ridiculous of shit, yet right wing racists doesnt get banned even when posting terrorist threats, death threats, or racial slurs.

        and honestly, its not just facebook. Its all social media.
