Facebook has banned UK far-right group Britain First, and its leaders, for repeated violations of the company’s community standards, even after “a written final warning”. The social media firm said that the group had posted content which was “designed to incite animosity and hatred against minority groups, which disqualifies the pages from our service". As a result of the ban, the group will not be allowed to create an official Facebook page in the future. The group’s leaders were also banned by Twitter in Last week.
