Honestly, while I’m glad to see them doing something, I worry how this will affect friends of mine, a couple of whom have already had temporary bans over profile pics, and I expect this is going to get a LOT worse.
I’ve already posted before about the ongoing friction between racist and antiracist factions in the Heathen community. The TL:DR is that racists are adopting symbols from Norse culture that are already being used by nonracist Heathen groups- So now, sacred symbols like the Othala rune and Valknut are being associated with white power stuff.
The ADL notes that context is vital, but I don’t trust Facebook’s algorithm to make the distinction.
