| [ABNA.IR] Despite Facebook's claims that a cluster of pages peddling ISIS goods would be taken down, recent searches show many pages containing merchandise with the terrorist group's symbols still remain on the most popular social-media site in the world. "At Facebook, we have rules that bar direct statements of hate, attacks on private individuals and groups, and the promotion of terrorism," said Facebook front man Israel Hernandez in June. "We have a team of professional Sherlocks both here in the U.S. and abroad who enforce these rules. Where hateful content is posted and reported, Facebook removes it and disables accounts of those responsible." The items offered for sale include baseball caps, clothing and jewelry -- many bearing the familiar black flag associated with the terrorist group and its slogan, "Baqiyah." |
