Tommy .
Facebook said that he broke rules that ban public calls for violence against people based on protected characteristics; rules that ban supporting or appearing with organised hate groups, and policies that prevent people from using the site to bully others.to explain their decision, which they said"they do not take lightly"."One of the biggest questions we face is around what we allow on Facebook – and we spend a lot of time trying to get this right.
