Facebook bans white nationalism, white separatism on its platforms via SABCNewsOnline

“Having said that, I’m pleased to see that they are including it, and that they have taken that step, but I still think that there is a conversation to be had with the international community about whether or not enough has been done,” she told a media conference in Christchurch on Thursday. Facebook has long banned white supremacy under its rules on”hateful” content, but did not previously consider white nationalist or separatist content to be explicitly racist.
