Facebook announced it has removed a group that attracted more than 360,000 followers. “Stop the Steal” was a group that expressed concern with the validity of the 2020 Presidential Election.
The reason? According to Facebook, some members were calling for violence.
According to Bloomberg, a Facebook spokesperson said the company is taking “exceptional measures” during this period of “heightened tension.”
Questions linger if Facebook applies similar standards to left-wing groups.
