From this morning's briefing in the NYT:

Facebook kicks out extremists

The social media giant barred seven prominent users on Thursday, including Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and founder of Infowars, and Louis Farrakhan, the outspoken black nationalist minister who has a record of anti-Semitic remarks. The company said they had violated policies against “dangerous individuals and organizations.”

One of the tech industry’s broadest actions yet to punish extremists, the move comes as social media companies have been under fire for allowing the spread of hateful content and misinformation. Critics said the decision had been a long time coming.
