>None of the extremists banned Thursday are new to Facebook or Instagram. Each has used the platforms extensively to spread misinformation and inflame tensions
Has wired aka Paris Martineau a biased writer? Has wired gone to shit now?
This is a 100% miss mischaracterization of these people. MSM is the ones that spreads misinformation, lies and decent everyday but they still have accounts on social media platforms.
Here is an actual terrorist group that associates with hamas. Why the f do they have an account, but Americans using their 1A cant?

A bit of a stretch to claim that saying Alex Jones spreads misinformation and inflames tensions is "100% mischaracterization of these people". I'd say that description is fairly spot on.
I don't know what the group you linked has to do with Alex Jones or the others mentioned in this article. Could you elaborate why that group is relevant to the article? Other than highlighting the difficulties of content moderation at the scale of 2B users?
its funny how all these big platforms are always trying to hush people who are trying to alert others about the truth even as crazy as it may sound. Some of the stuff alex j says is true but its so crazy and hard to believe that people see it as fake news. who ever wrote this article has biased intentions instead of just reporting the news without taking sides.
Please, I genuinely would love to see some examples of some of this "so crazy and hard to believe" stuff that has been peddled by Alex Jones that has been proven as true.
Edit: I would also ask, if you could, to let me know which portions of this article struck you as particularily biased. Considering half of the article is conveying the statement from Facebook, and the rest of the article appears to be stating the facts (Media announced a ban, the ban actually happened after the media, heres what FB had to say about it) I'm having trouble seeing the intense bias you see.
