Facebook continues to serve as a breeding ground for the extremist “boogaloo” movement despite multiple attempts by the social network to crack down on posts by adherents, who advocate a violent overthrow of the U.S. government, according to a new report.
The report, published Wednesday by the Tech Transparency Project, part of the nonpartisan Campaign for Accountability, concludes that Facebook “has repeatedly failed to remove ‘boogaloo’ extremists who are using the platform to plan for a militant uprising.
In response, a Facebook spokesperson told HuffPost that it had removed groups and pages that used “boogaloo” and related terms, and insisted that it would continue to “enforce against any violations” of the policy. According to the report released Wednesday, TTP researchers have identified 110 Facebook boogaloo groups that were created since June 30, when Facebook announced its ban on a “violent” boogaloo network. At least 18 of these were created on the day the rule went into effect.
Other recent posts shared in the same public group include a picture of a gun decorated with colorful Hawaiian flowers and igloos, both boogaloo symbols; and another raising questions about whether all protesters who block traffic should be subject to being run over, or just those who support Black Lives Matter.
