The post came from a group called "Europeans," which has about 5,200 followers and promotes white nationalist content, something Facebook said it banned in March.

The post describes the attack in Sri Lanka, where the death toll reached more than 300 after Easter Sunday bombings at numerous churches. On Tuesday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, while Sri Lankan officials said the bombings were retaliation for the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand last month.
