Inquirer.net: Neo-Nazi Facebook groups remain online because they ‘do not violate standards’ — report
“Several neo-Nazi groups remain active on Facebook after it was found they did not violate the site’s 'community standards.' The pages were operated by international white supremacist organizations, as per Counter Extremism Project (CEP) via an exclusive report by The Independent on March 25. The social media site did not take down the said pages and instead told researchers to 'unfollow' if they found the content offensive. 'Facebook services a third of the world’s population, it’s the biggest platform there is,' Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the CEP, was quoted as saying. 'But the company’s business model is content on the platform, not content off the platform, [so] unless there is clear, sustained public pressure on the right-wing extremism issue, we will not see significant progress.'"

Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
