Facebook permanently bans top UK Islamophobe
The top Islamophobic figure in the United Kingdom has been fully banned from Facebook and Instagram after he repeatedly broke hate speech policies.
A Facebook spokesperson said on Tuesday that Robinson’s page on the social media platform had been banned over numerous attempts to attack Muslims and spread hate against them and others.
“Tommy Robinson’s Facebook page has repeatedly broken standards, posting material that uses dehumanizing language and calls for violence targeted at Muslims,” said the official, adding that Robinson’s profile on Instagram, which is also controlled by the Facebook organization, had also been removed.
Robinson, known for his numerous attempts to depict Muslims as a threat to the UK security, has already been banned from Twitter and Paypal, a major online payment platform. YouTube, where he posts his hate films against the Muslims, also decided recently to demonetize his account, depriving Robinson from a major source of his income that came from advertisements. Facebook had already deprived Robbinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, from receiving donations on his page.
The ban come following his renewed call on the public to take to the streets of Britain to condemn what he calls the deliberate attempt of the government and the media to target him. He led a demonstration on Saturday in front of a BBC office in northern England over the broadcaster’s planned release of a film focused on his hate activities. The Islamophobe then released his own film on Facebook.
Robinson, convicted several times in the UK for various charges, has been banned from travelling to the United States, where he enjoys support for his anti-Islam campaigns.
UK’s attorney general is expected to decide on charges of contempt of the court against Robinson which caused him to go to jail for a short period in August.
