The extremely popular American White History Month page with over 314,000 followers may be the biggest target. Facebook deleted the page without questions and has also deleted repeated attempts to restart the page.

Facebook seemed to scale down censorship efforts in late 2013 after gaining a bad reputation. It was also revealed that Facebook operated censorship centers in third world countries. Hundreds of people are paid $1.50 an hour to censor Facebook status updates.
