'There is a direct correlation between the rise of hate groups on social media and the frequent attacks,' like the El Paso and Dayton weekend killings, said SPLC analyst Keegan Hankes.
USA TODAYDespite efforts from major social media companies to try to weed out hate groups that use their platforms, the reality is they are still all over the networks, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center advocacy group.
As an example, Hankes shared a URL for a YouTube video, in the guise of a straight news talk show, from Redice.TV, in which the host complained about"blatant discrimination for people of European descent." He calls Facebook a"work in progress" that has gotten better, with stronger moderation tools and more content bans but is still a platform of choice by hate groups."They haven't gotten rid of all of them." Facebook is where the groups"go to recruit new members and indoctrinate them."The social network is primarily where the neo-nazi march on Charlottesville, Virginia, that led to a woman's death, was organized, notes Hankes.
