SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc identified an "uptick" in content related to the far-right Proud Boys on Wednesday, after President Donald Trump declined to condemn the group during Tuesday night's presidential debate, a company executive said on Twitter.

The content included memes featuring Trump's instructions to the group to "stand back and stand by," said Brian Fishman, who directs Facebook's team handling counterterrorism and dangerous organizations.
