| Facebook has removed a string of far-right and anti-Semitic leaders from its platform, saying their accounts violated its policies against dangerous individuals and organizations.
Among those banned from the platform are Alex Jones and his controversial site Infowars, right-wing personalities Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson and Laura Loomer, as well as Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and Paul Nehlen, a white nationalist who ran for Congress in 2018.
These figures are now banned from creating accounts on both Instagram and Facebook, but users will still be able to publish posts supporting their viewpoints.
The crackdown comes as the social media giant has been criticized for its failure to curb the spread of misinformation, as well as hateful and extremist content on the site.
