Facebook CEO says 'Kenosha Guard' page was left up by mistake

Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said the company was too slow to remove a page that violated its policy on dangerous organisations in the hours leading up to a deadly shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week.[SAN FRANCISCO] Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said the company was too slow to remove a page that violated its policy on dangerous organisations in the hours leading up to a deadly shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week.

The social-media company eventually took down the page, titled"Kenosha Guard," for violating Facebook policies around militia organisations, according to a spokeswoman. The page's owners created an event promoting a"call to arms" and encouraging users to"Protect our Lives and Property," the Verge reported.

Multiple users reported the group to Facebook but it was not removed until after a shooting on Tuesday in which two people died. "The Page violated our policies," Mr Zuckerberg said Friday in a video post, adding that Facebook reviewers didn't identify it as a violation in part because the rules against militia groups are new.
