SHOULD THE BNP BE ALLOWED ON FACEBOOK?
The BNP’s views pose a direct threat and are offensive to many Facebook users and people in society. In areas that the BNP target with its hate propaganda, racist attacks increase. In the year that the BNP targeted Barking and Dagenham, spreading racist lies about the African community in the area, racist attacks increased by 30%. The BNP uses the internet to attempt to recruit for its fascist cause and to give legitimacy to its hatred. The Facebook’s site explicitly states that a user’s account can be terminated if a user fails to adhere to its terms and conditions,
which includes agreement not to upload, post, transmit, share or make otherwise available content that can be deemed “harmful, threatening…harassing…hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable”.
