Facebook lets rightwing site repost torture video after it was removed

Daily Caller repackaged footage, days after Facebook removed it for violating community standards, and asked users to share if they 'think this is a hate crime'

A video showing the brutal attack of a young man with disabilities in Chicago that was broadcast on Facebook Live has resurfaced on the social media network, attracting millions of new viewers.

The 30-minute attack, which shows a man bound, gagged and cut with a knife, was viewed live by 16,000 people and eventually removed by Facebook for violating its community standards. Facebook prohibits the celebration or glorification of crimes on its platform.
