Far-right is so easily identifiable, but what about far-left?

Far-left is just as controversial and radiates not less violence and nonsense. There should be a clear, widely shared common knowledge and cultural condemnation for any type of extremism.

Well, specifically "hate speech" is what's at issue here, which is bad whether it's from the left or the right. Just so happened that the group under discussion was of the latter persuasion. Facebook didn't moderate their posts even though they contravened their guidelines because they had so many followers.
