Vice News reports:
Two Facebook pages associated with white nationalist Richard Spencer have been kicked off the platform. The outspoken white nationalist who coined the term “alt-right” and runs the National Policy Institute, had been operating in the open on Facebook. The National Policy Institute, which advocates for a white “ethnostate,” had a page with 4,000 followers. Spencer’s online magazine “Altright.com” also had a Facebook page with more than 10,000 followers. Both were removed Friday after an inquiry from VICE News about those pages and those of several other prominent hate groups.
More of Trump's "very fine people" are getting the boot: Both of Spencer's pages were removed Friday after an inquiry from VICE News about those pages and those of several other prominent hate groups. https://t.co/LrOuy9muF6 #BigotPresident

Both Richard Spencer and his "think tank" have been kicked off of Facebook. Obviously, he's still safe here on Twitter. https://t.co/qrkNspzaE9
