Hate Speech: Facebook Removes Account Of British Anti-Islam Activist

According to a blog post from Facebook, Robinson’s page “has repeatedly broken” the platform’s community standards, which delineate what Facebook defines as hate speech. The post stated that Robinson’s page posted “material that uses dehumanizing language and calls for violence targeted at Muslims. He has also behaved in ways that violate our policies around organized hate.”

Robinson was arrested in March of 2018 for filming the trial of a grooming gang of 27 men, over half of whom were of Pakistani origin, who were convicted of over 120 offenses against 15 girls.

Robinson founded the English Defence League, an anti-Islamic organization, in 2009. He left the organization in 2012.
