A lot more Muslims kill each other (sectarian violence). Should Facebook ban expressions of Muslim superiority or Shia/Sunni superiority? Forget about protecting Westerners. Why not do it just to protect other Muslims? Yet I don't see that happening any time soon. Why the double standard?

Facebook already does ban a lot of extremist content, including pro-ISIS content. This protects both Westerners and Muslims.

Leaving that aside, banning white nationalism does not prevent Facebook from banning other content it considers extremist in the future, regardless of what you see happening any time soon.

Whataboutism is unbecoming and facebook is taking actions against ISIS and related accounts.

Weak meme, 2/10.
