MODERATORS
"Content produced by these creators appears to be, at times, in direct violation of Facebook's own policies around content monetisation."
Pretty sure the content perfectly matches their more clicks = more $$$$$ policy.
Fair, and I'd go one step further by saying the "neo-Nazi" market share is something Facebook doesn't want to miss out on.
That said they'd probably ban these guys if enough people complained about it. Or maybe not seeing as Mark Zuckerberg has decided to kiss Trump's ring...
