The ban, which began Monday, also included hate groups like Soldiers of Odin and the Canadian Nationalist front. It will extend to any Facebook groups, pages and Instagram accounts associated with those banned. The move comes two weeks after Facebook said it will ban white nationalist and white separatist content. The platform was criticized last week after saying that one of Goldy’s videos, which mentioned a well-known white supremacist talking point, did not violate its policies. (BuzzFeed News)

Talking point: Tech companies are starting to police the content posted on their platforms more proactively, after many years of claiming no responsibility for their users create and share. It’s no coincidence that they’re doing so, as countries around the world start to take significant measures to rein in Big Tech. Australia passed a law last Thursday that allows it to jail social media executives if they fail to remove violence streamed on their platforms, as was the case for the Christchurch mosque shootings. And, on Monday, the U.K. government released new regulations that makes tech giants legally responsible for harmful or unlawful content on their platforms. In Canada, Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould cited the British proposals as a possible model, and said she was “not feeling great” about the platforms’ approach to issues like disinformation and electoral integrity.
