Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook
Despite bans on militias, Facebook continues to struggle with content moderation.

Not condoning it, but all I can think is how terrible Facebook is for "coordinating" stuff like this. I mean, if FB or the feds wanted to find out who these people are, track them down or something, they can do that pretty easily. People who do stuff like this aren't too bright, though. So not surprised, I guess.
I think free speech is really important. As soon as you start on the path of censorship you can't stop.
It starts with censorship of the extreme and ends with only a handful of allowed beliefs.
But having the right to say whatever the fuck you want and face no consequence isn't that good .
Its called democracy (mostly)
By that logic you would have no issue with a person calling black people the n-word in the street right ? But no most of the time they tend to get hit on the face and there are laws against those kind of people .
If you tolerate the intolerant, it will eventually bite you. Free speech should be protected, but not tolerated.
It's not even "tracking down". It's public information that is easily searchable. It should be easy to stay 2 steps ahead of these groups planning things out in the open.
Yeah, something like Reddit or lemmy would be way better. Make a relatively obscure community with a dog whistle as a name. Anonymous, minimal moderation, and an amount of control to keep the group think in.
But please, use Facebook.
Makes them easy to find. Dumbasses.
