Facebook Profits from White Supremacist Groups:

TTP found that more than 80 white supremacist groups have a presence
on Facebook, including some that Facebook itself has labelled as
“dangerous organizations.” What’s more, when our test user searched for
the names of white supremacist groups on Facebook, the search results
were often monetized with ads—meaning Facebook is profiting off them.

Even more disturbing: TTP discovered that Facebook searches for some
groups with “Ku Klux Klan” in their name generated ads for Black
churches, highlighting minority institutions to a user searching for
white supremacist content.

That’s a chilling result, given reports that the gunman who killed 10
people in the recent, racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New
York, did research to pick a target neighborhood with a high ratio of Black residents.
