    Snippets from the intercept article

    represents interest of USGov:

    Experts say the public deserves to see the list, a clear embodiment of U.S. foreign policy priorities that could disproportionately censor marginalized groups. The list and associated rules appear to be a clear embodiment of American anxieties, political concerns, and foreign policy values since 9/11, experts said, even though the DIO policy is meant to protect all Facebook users and applies to those who reside outside of the United States (the vast majority). Nearly everyone and everything on the list is considered a foe or threat by America or its allies: Over half of it consists of alleged foreign terrorists, free discussion of which is subject to Facebook’s harshest censorship.

    Facebook conceals this

    “Facebook puts users in a near-impossible position by telling them they can’t post about dangerous groups and individuals, but then refusing to publicly identify who it considers dangerous,” said Faiza Patel, co-director of the Brennan Center for Justice’s liberty and national security program, who reviewed the material.

    Sorry Adolf Hitler your banned on facebook.

    Regardless of tier, no one on the DIO list is allowed to maintain a presence on Facebook platforms, nor are users allowed to represent themselves as members of any listed groups.

    Dissident right is Tier 1 the most severe

    Tier 1 is the most strictly limited; users may not express anything deemed to be praise or support about groups and people in this tier, even for nonviolent activities (as determined by Facebook). Tier 1 includes alleged terror, hate, and criminal groups and alleged members,

    I know every single Tier 1 groups, they are all dissident right / alt right. Patel is lying, Militia groups are all patriotard libertarian normie conservative types and do not have the same politics.

    There are close to 500 hate groups in Tier 1, including the more than 250 white supremacist organizations Fishman referenced, but Faiza Patel, of the Brennan Center, noted that hundreds of predominantly white right-wing militia groups that seem similar to the hate groups are “treated with a light touch”

    Article finishes with some dumb antifa whining, even though if their on the list their tier 3. Their generally protecting your ass.

    A representative for It’s Going Down, who requested anonymity on the basis of their safety, told The Intercept that “outlets across the political spectrum report on street clashes, strikes, riots, and property destruction, but here Facebook seems to be imply if they don’t like what analysis … or opinion one writes about why millions of people took to the streets last summer during the pandemic in the largest outpouring in U.S. history, then they will simply remove you from the conversation.”

    Don't want to sound alarmist but this looks like the prelude to mass arrests.

    That list could also be paired with new red flag gun confiscation laws.

    How can you be a dangerous individual if your dead.

    Those men's ideas are contagious and dangerous. They got that part right. The parasite class are right to be worried about dead men's ideas finding new life.

    I am surprised these stalwarts did not make the list (or do I miss them):

    Kevin MacDonald, Vincent James, Devon Stack.

    CTRL+F "Jews", "AIPAC," Israel"

    Only two organizations appear that are definitely are plausibly pro-Jewish. But hundreds of Islamic and "Far Right" organizations listed. Should tell you all you need to know

    I Forgot to mention the sources they use for the list. They use "Specially Designated Global Terrorists" sanctions list maintained by the Treasury Department. And the private firms of "Search for International Terrorist Entities" (has a controversial history) and "Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium,". I think the "hate groups" come from the latter private subscription-based database" and "Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium,".

    I wish we knew which group added the majority of the "hate group category. Im speculating but the latter group ("Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium") I find most egregious since their a private subscription-based database, they have a incentive to pump their numbers and you can't know if your on the list unless you pay for a subscription. I see on their website they consider Pine tree gang a terrorist group, they also list telegram channels as terrorist groups, not kidding. I believe they are the ones who add the majority of the "hate group category" (again alleged, just speculating).
