>it is to make it harder for people to become radicalized in the first place

I've been in fb group chats with holocaust deniers etc. (mans literally inboxed me a youtube video, I never bothered clicking the links he sent but it was funny)

"banning white nationalist content" is a cute headline but doesn't hit the problem of seemingly benign normal users that would never "reveal their power level" slowly radicalizing their friends with content not on their site lol

I said "harder" not "impossible." Yes, white supremacists are still going to use Facebook and are still going to try to radicalize people, but it will be harder.

I sure saw a lot of overtly antisemitic, racist, white supremacist imagery in that article...

those memes are really old, theres more subtle content that radicalizes people

its less orchestrated and just friendly until a point
