including Louis Farrakhan

Heh, it’s like the opposite of a security checkpoint: they had to find one black guy to ban too.

“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology. The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today,

Translation: “We never ban individuals or organizations that create engagement that brings us big dollars until consumers are abandoning us in droves and we’re under investigation for being one of the worst companies ever, and that’s not even counting how we platformed these vile shits during the 2016 campaign leading to the worst leader our country has ever had.”
