QAnon groups have millions of members on Facebook, documents show
NBC ^ | 08 10 2020 | Ari Sen and Brandy Zadrozny

An internal investigation by Facebook has uncovered thousands of groups and pages, with millions of members and followers, that support the QAnon conspiracy theory, according to internal company documents reviewed by NBC News.

The investigation’s preliminary results, which were provided to NBC News by a Facebook employee, shed new light on the scope of activity and content from the QAnon community on Facebook, a scale previously undisclosed by Facebook and unreported by the news media, because most of the groups are private.

The top 10 groups identified in the investigation collectively contain more than 1 million members, with totals from more top groups and pages pushing the number of members and followers past 3 million. It is not clear how much overlap there is among the groups.

The investigation will likely inform what, if any, action Facebook decides to take against its QAnon community, according to the documents and two current Facebook employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The company is considering an option similar to its handling of anti-vaccination content, which is to reject advertising and exclude QAnon groups and pages from search results and recommendations, an action that would reduce the community’s visibility.

I’m guessing that’s far more than the ratings for NBC Nightly News.

In the liberal mind anyone voting for Trump is QAnon

“There are probably 1M+ people on FB who think the world is flat.”

And also “Trust Sessions” & “Trust Wray.”

Communist groups have MILLIONS of supporters on Facebook.

But the media is okay with godless seditious treasonous militant Communists and the cancer they bring.

Is QAnon any relation to Anonymous?

Do either even really exist?

It is a LARP ... and it’s probably being run by liberal idiots to keep EVERYONE that might fight back complacent.

I saw the other day that you have to add 900 some days to Q posts to decode things that happen today.

What I take from this is that Q has some way to see into the future and posts about the future in the past.

Does that kind of nonsense make sense to you? Seriously, do you *really* believe that someone was able to see into the future and post about it?

If so, I pray for you. You’re being used.

And they are terrified.

Still, no one will ask Trump about Q, it would put the “conspiracy” to rest once and for all and the deep state would sleep well knowing that the Godly, patriotic Q was a LARP and that no one knows of their dirty deeds. That no one knows about the sexual trafficking of children and they can go about safely in the carnal,satanic, disgusting world that they have attempted to thrust upon us. That no one sees the billions they’ve syphoned from our economy. That those who believe Q are pathetic, blind followers and not truth seekers, easily fooled by smoke and mirrors.

As for me, WWG1WGA. God-willing, Trump and his patriots will save this country and I hope I can be of some little help.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a LARP. It seems strange to me that big tech and the media are so concerned about this particular LARP. It’s not like big tech and the media have shown such concern for reality before. Big tech and the media are biggest dealers of misinformation, deception, constructed narrative and out right lies on the planet. Maybe they don’t like the competition or maybe there is something to this LARP which threatens them. Time will tell, maybe.

I don’t think they see the future, only that they control it... If not, Q must be a time traveler to be right as much he (or she) has one of the early ones was predicting McCain’s demise exactly 30 days out.

No they don’t.... farcebook only thinks they are there. What a joy to keep trolling them while they are being taken out. Zucker weenie should be peeing his little digital panties, and Jack Dorsey, too.

The “switch” is in the control of the Executive.

And more than a half million of those are probably “bots” not even real people.

Farcebook is quite passe’ and that is why Zuckerweenie is scared... but not as scared as the National Broadcasters of Cocaine heads weenies— aka Comcast, parent of: NBC, Telemundo, TeleXitos, Cozi TV,MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Syfy, NBCSN , E! and many others as well as the film studio Universal Pictures & all the Universal Parks & Resorts.

Quite a group to be threatened by directed unstoppable Patriots. The game is already over, NBC— you are toast.
