More than four thousand individuals and organizations have been banned from the platform for their links to terrorism, hate crimes and other crimes.
There are also 26 Hungarian pages on Facebook's blacklist, on which more than four thousand individuals and organizations have been banned from the platform due to their ties to terrorism, hate crimes and other crimes, Gizmodo reports based on the list obtained by the Intercept .
Facebook divides those on the list into three categories, depending on how dangerous they are:
the first and also the most serious category includes those persons and pages who have been brought here because of "serious offline harm", i.e. because of acts of violence against civilians, collusion with organized crime, or advocating harm based on protected properties, so essentially terrorists and terrorist organizations ,
the second category includes "violent, non-state actors", such as the rebels of the Syrian civil war,
and the third, mildest category included organizations and individuals that Facebook found to be in violation of its hate speech and dangerous organizations policies, or show "intent to commit offline violence" but "have not necessarily committed violence in the past, or based on their protected characteristics they did not necessarily advocate violence against others”.
Hungarian disabled people all belong to the third category. Overall, 53.7 percent of those on the list are classified as terrorism-related, 23.3 percent as militarized social movements, 17 percent as hate groups, 4.9 percent as criminals, and just under 1 percent as violent non-state actors.
Hungarian bands, organizations, and Kurucinfo, which was banned from Facebook even in 2017, are among those banned in Hungary, but the Nyilaskeresztes Párt can also be found on the list. Most of the banned bands - including Divizió 88, Healthy Scalp, Magozott Cheresznye, Nimród, Oi-Kor, Romantikus Rőszak, Titkolt Ottenállás - are known as "skinhead bands".
