Facebook has said it will block "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism" on Facebook and Instagram from next week. ... The social media giant also pledged to improve its ability to identify and block material from terrorist groups. ... Facebook users searching for offending terms will be directed to a charity which combats far-right extremism.
Call it a guess, but this won’t end well for FaceBook. Their centralized algorithms will likely be a clumsy response.
At least some of these white nationalists may migrate to the Steem blockchain, so be ready to flag them. @whatsup recently did a post about the importance of using your stake for flagging, go read it:

Also, NPR’s “Fresh Air” recently had a show about how extremists use social media for recruiting. It’s well worth a listen:
