An ABC NEWS Verify investigation has found Facebook's parent company, Meta, is directly paying several controversial content creators including a white nationalist with Neo-Nazi links and a prominent anti-vaxxer.
Content produced by these creators appears to be, at times, in direct violation of Facebook's own policies around content monetisation."
