Facebook has taken down anti-Islamic activist Tommy Robinson’s official page and Instagram profile for violating its policies on hate speech. this happens a few weeks after Youtube Suspended Mr. Robbinson’s adverts on his account over broken advert’s rules.
The former English Defence League leader was said to have been engaged in “organized hate”.
According to Facebook, a written warning had been sent to Mr. Robinson last month about a number of posts on his page that had violated its community standards, including:
- a post calling Muslims “filthy scum bags”
- a post urging people to terrorise and behead those who follow the Koran
- a post urging people to “make war” on Muslims
- multiple videos depicting individuals being bullied
At the time, Mr Robinson denied they contained any “hateful” content and said he was the victim of censorship.
In November, PayPal said it would no longer process payments for Mr Robinson.
In May, Mr Robinson, 35, was jailed for contempt of court. The 13-month sentence sparked a series of #freetommy protests. The conviction was later quashed after procedural concerns.
The case has now been referred to the attorney general.
In March 2018, Mr Robinson was banned from Twitter. It is understood that his account was suspended for breaking its “hateful conduct policy”.
