Facebook continued to give the public a peek behind the curtain, releasing a major report on Tuesday that announced the Silicon Valley company removed more than one billion fake accounts. Facebook also said it purged millions of posts that violate its rules in the last year.
The first-ever Community Standards Enforcement Report, a robust 81 pages, details the companys efforts to weed out unsavory content, including violence and terrorist propaganda. The report accounted for the fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018.
Etc...

There are said to be millions of fake Facebook accounts.
Hopefully fake accounts run by liberals will be caught up in the sweep.
Even counting One Billion Accounts seems like a non-trivial exercise.
Community Standards Enforcement Report,
Are they using the same app they wrote for the Chinese government?
Five of them were mine.
I would never open an NSABook account in my own name.
“Facebook Disabled 1 Billion Fake Accounts in the Last Year”
well, they missed all three of my fake facebook accounts, so either they’re not very effective at it or they’re simply lying ...
Good, does that mean a middle-age, middle class guy like me will stop getting Friend requests from 20-something fake baked blondes with large chests?
There must be some system built into Facebook that creates accounts. Then those artificial accounts create a second generation of accounts, and on and on. Sort of like cell division, creating clones of itself. I find it hard to believe no one knew this was happening.
I suspect the intrinsic value of the stock prices have been affected by this inflated illusion of mass popularity.
Will they give back the advertising money that goes with those accounts ?
How many total accounts did they have to begin with?..............
If someone opens an account using a pseudonym but always posts factual, non-misleading information and honest opinion, basically, a normal account just maintaining privacy - Does that make it a “fake account”?
That’s funny: All 3 of my fake accounts are still active, including one for which I forgot the password (the oldest)...
A billion? So when’s the stockholder suit overstating potential revenue? That’s fraud, baby.
Two bilion more fake accounts to go.
Facebook stock price was founded on stock fraud due to fake accounts.
Facebook deleting half a billion accounts is solid evidence of wrongdoing.
The SEC should be advised that FACEBOOK apparently mislead investors.

Investors should be mailing their FACEBOOK Annual Reports to their attorneys as we type.
The SEC prosecutes when publicly-held companies falsify Annual Reports.
Facebook misrepresented itself to advertisers so that it could charge more for ads. This is a criminal offense.
REFERENCE A couple of newspapermen were jailed b/c they cooked the books WRT readership to charge more for ads.

My only fb account is a fake name with no other identifiers. Everything but the name is empty. They missed me too. Lol
I am still seeing posts by CNN on Facebook! I thought that Facebook was cracking down on fake news!
Zuckerturd did everything he could to get Clinton selected. That was collusion along with the millions of “bundled” donations solicited and illegally misused by Clinton. Hello DOJ? This report came out last week and will never be reported by the scumbag media.
To be perfectly honest I created a fake FB account as per the urging of my wife. I didn’t really know that was a “bad” thing. I was stalked once upon a time in my life and sued by a serial litigator for something I said online, which I thought was completely fair comment on a public figure. I have a legitimate account but my wife wisely said I should stick to the fake one for anything political.
Liberals don’t understand that their free speech is perfectly safe. And of course they want to hunt you down if they don’t like what you say. Which happened last week when a guy said he reported me to facebook for that simple reason and outed my account as “fake”.
So far I still have it. I would like to keep it because of course I use it to comment on Hot Air, ect...
FWIW, we created “fake” G- mail accounts for my kids. They have GMAIL accounts but we used fake names. There is a reason we and others use fake accounts - for my kids so no stalker tracks them down.
