Facebook has repeatedly come under fire for ignoring warnings about violent groups using its platform to incite violence. AP Photo/Andrew Harnik Facebook has long ignored repeated warnings about militia and hate groups promoting violence against Muslims, according to civil rights group Muslim Advocates. Muslim Advocates published a timeline on Wednesday of 10 instances since 2015 where it alerted the company to militia and hate groups using Facebook events to organize armed anti-Muslim rallies. "For more than five years Facebook has failed to stop this," the group's public advocacy director said. Facebook has come under fire twice in recent weeks for failing to enforce its own anti-militia ban despite being warned about groups threatening violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon.
