Facebook and Instagram ban UK far-right figure Tommy Robinson

Facebook and Instagram have banned Tommy Robinson, former leader and founder of the far-right, anti-Muslim group English Defence League (EDL). 

Facebook said in a blogpost that they have removed Robinson’s pages on Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. The profiles have been taken down for "repeatedly" violating the community guidelines by "posting material that uses dehumanizing language and calls for violence targeted at Muslims."
