Facebook announced it has banned Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, as well as several right-wing figures, including conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of InfoWars and former Breitbart columnist Milo Yiannopoulos. In a statement, Facebook said, “We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology.” Several prominent hip-hop artists, including Snoop Dogg and Chuck D, criticized Facebook for banning Farrakhan, who organized the Million Man March in 1995 but has long been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks.
