Lately, he says he’s noticed that “pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler content” has been getting especially high engagement on platforms like Reels, speculating that an AI hot girl Nazi influencer “would blow up. It would just break all the records.” (When asked about this claim, a Meta spokesperson said, “We prohibit content that glorifies, supports, or represents Nazism, and we remove it when we find it.”)

lmao, they remove it when they find it, they're not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they're actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.

To Meta’s credit, however, emily_hart.nurse’s life on Instagram was relatively brief. In February, Emily’s account was officially banned after Instagram flagged it for “fraudulent” activity, though her Facebook account is still active.

Another piece of circumstantial evidence that Meta is just ugh.

Cause they were scamming Nazis, if it would have been an account scamming old people they would have kept it.
