Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, said the social media giant is actively removing pages advocating racism and anti-Semitism in the wake of the weekend's deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va.
Zuckerberg, who is Jewish, posted on his personal Facebook page that he was appalled by the racist assembly in Virginia, where a counter-protester was killed when a vehicle driven by a 20-year-old Ohio man who had previously expressed neo Nazi sympathies ploughed into a group of people, killing Heather Hoyer, 32.
