I can appreciate that this is a "Reproduced Snapshot". I don't see anywhere that clarifies what it means, but I assume that this means it's not a simple copy/paste of text, nor a screenshot. The reason for avoiding both of those is to avoid passing through watermarking that can reveal how the data was leaked. Text can be watermarked by including unicode characters that look identical to ASCII characters or including…

I believe you’re right especially since they’ve blown a source before by posting a original copy of leaked documents

the US has a militia, its called the national guard, any other militias might be called “paramilitary”, and a private company might choose not to be the platform of paramilitary groups

The US has 2 Militia's under federal law, the organized Militia aka the national guard, and the unorganized militia which is 10 U.S. Code § 246 which states "The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and,... under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States wh…

Did you just count the same group twice - those who are members of the National Guard?

They have Ted Kaczynski on that list despite the fact that he's in prison for the rest of his life, and that he wouldn't use Facebook even if he was out. Is his presence on this list an indicator that Facebook is paying more attention to users/groups that talk about him a lot or share his ideals?

And Benito Mussolini for hate :)

so there is a lot of islamic groups, at least on top 20 or so pages and on bottom up 20 pages, skimmed. but yeah that's well a it's a terror network list, and just in time for halloween.

not serious, idk people just stay up at night plotting evil shit for whatever reason with their buddies. might be better laying off the terror and chilling out a little, watch some netflix. maybe something more positive than terror, idk, they spend too much time on twitter. surprised facebook posted this.

The classes of the militia are—

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Members of the militia are "all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and,... under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.""

hm... Half of the Organizations in the "Hate: category seem to be based in Germany. Almost all of the Organizations in the "Terror" category seem to be Islamic. In the category "Crime" Brazil is overly represented. There seem to be a shocking amount of "Armed Militia Groups". I was surprised to find that "A.K. Chesterton" is affiliated with the "British Union of Fascists" ?? Is that correct? I seemed to be confusing…

As a German this is quite embarrassing, it seamlessly connects to bad legislation for anything digital. A free internet could never have been developed in a country like Germany.

There are probably some very indicting statistics on some sites that have an international audience but 80% of complaints still come from Germans.

Long dead Hitler and Goebbels are included too, but why stop there? Where's Joseph Stalin and Vlad the Impaler. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21083819/pages/facebo...

Where is Mao ?
