NEW, with @TTP_updates, 100s of far-right militias, including some whose members were charged in the deadly insurrection on the Capitol, continue to organize, recruit, and promote violence on @Facebook. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
200+ militia pages an groups are on Facebook as of March 18, according to @TTP_updates and @BuzzFeedNews research. Of them, at least 140 included the word “militia” in their name. Not exactly trying to hide! Here's the TTP report: techtransparencyproject.org/articles/faceb…
Facebook banned some militant groups and other extremist movements tied to violence. But dozens persist and some have opened new pages in recent months, even after Jan. 6. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Facebook is also automatically creating pages for some of the militias and directing people who “like” certain militia pages to check out others, effectively helping these movements recruit and radicalize new members.

A @Facebook spokesperson said the company has banned many militias in the past and will review the accuracy of @BuzzFeedNews and @TTP_updates findings, "but simply using the word 'militia' does not violate our policies." buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
