QuestionCiting the Kenosha shooting, Schakowsky asks what Facebook will do to prevent pages calling for armed militia organizing, and how it will enforce that.

ResponseFacebook cites an August 2020 framework flagging locations at elevated risk of armed violence/intimidation (treating them like schools or polling places) and its broader militarized-social-movements ban, without directly addressing page-creation prevention.
