Amazon, Google and Wish have removed neo-Nazi and white-supremacist products being sold on their platforms following an investigation by BBC Click, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

White-supremacist flags, neo-Nazi books and Ku Klux Klan merchandise were all available for sale, said the BBC report.

Algorithms on Amazon and Wish also recommended other white-supremacist items and all three companies told the BBC that racist products were prohibited on their platforms.

Defamation League (ADL), an anti-hate organisation, said the companies needed to "constantly be on top of what the algorithm is recommending," the report added.
