Once you close your warning, you must significantly slow down or stop this behavior. Further misuse of site features may result in a temporary block or your account being permanently disabled.”

Conclusion
Facebook’s expressions of nationalist discourse resemble real life symbols and rhetoric to a great extent. It has an enormous potential for shaping the discourse given its permeation, especially concerning the younger generation. Even though strong signs of “exclusivism” can be found, it provides even greater chances to connect.
