The platform said it has determined that those figures are "dangerous," and removed them under their policy barring individuals and groups that promote violent messages. The tech giant, which has been engaged in an escalating crackdown on hate speech and fear-mongering on its platforms, also removed neo-Nazi Paul Nehlen, who previously ran for the House in Wisconsin, far-right activist Laura Loomer and conservative YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson."
