Facebook Under Fire for Allowing Neo-Nazis to Run Clothing Brands on Their Platforms The social media giant is being criticized for letting Neo-Nazis and white supremacists profit off their platforms. HuffPost reports that the brands Sva Stone, Ansgar Aryan and Pride France maintain storefronts on Facebook and Instagram. The brands sell clothing with slogans such as “White baby, the future of our race.” They also use symbols praising the Third Reich. Mark Zuckerberg recently cited Holocaust denial as an example of speech he wouldn't censor because it's “hard to impugn intent and to understand the intent.” HuffPost flagged Ansgar Aryan’s page for hate speech. Facebook said the content didn't violate their community standards.
