On the Daily Dot:
The Facebook pages of Richard Spencer, the alt-right leader who was famously punched in the face last year, have been suspended.
The pages for the National Policy Institute, a lobbying group of sorts for white nationalists, and Spencer's online magazine "altright.com," vanished on Friday after Vice sent the social network an inquiry about hate groups. They had a combined following of almost 15,000 followers.
The action was taken just days after Mark Zuckerberg emphasized during his testimony before Congress that Facebook does not allow hate speech. But it wasn't until Vice flagged the accounts that Facebook suspended them. The social network said in a statement that it identifies violating pages using human monitors, algorithms, and partnerships with organizations.

Something that hasn't truly existed in the U.S. in a long time.

Hasn't existed? You have lead a very sheltered life.

Leaving out "in a long time" changes the entire message. All I see these days are a bunch of annoying dickheads shouting from every angle and vandalizing the communities they're claiming to want to protect. What you don't see anymore is a group like the KKK rounding up blacks and lynching them in the street. If the worst we get is people shouting, damaging property, and an occasional scuffle between people that were out looking for a fight to begin with, then we've got it good compared to what it could be.
