Facebook Takes Down Billions Of Fake Accounts by ogbetaNews(f): 9:05pm On Nov 13, 2019 |
Facebook removed 2.2 billion fake accounts from its platform during the first quarter of the year — nearly double the number it took action on in the prior quarter. The company says the increase is due to an uptick in automated attacks that create many accounts at once. The company released the latest iteration of its Community Standards Report, which is meant to help the public understand how it is handling content moderation. It’s one of a number of efforts Facebook has made at increasing transparency and improving its public image after a cascade of scandals, including Cambridge Analytica, Russian interference in the 2016 election, and its platform's role in spreading misinformation. Its practices have been under increased scrutiny around the globe, including from politicians, some of whom have called for Facebook’s break-up and questioned how it moderates what is and isn’t allowed on its platform. In the new report, Facebook revealed that it took down nearly as many fake Facebook accounts as there are real ones in the first three months of 2019. It’s a huge jump. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Facebook took down 1.2 billion fake accounts, and the quarter before, 750,000. During the first quarter of 2018, Facebook took down fewer than 600,000 fake accounts.

I wonder if Nairaland doesn't get ashamed of itself whenever it brings news of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram's improvements and new features while itself remains the same for more than 14 years! Why can't Nairaland have # and @ and the ability to block people from following you (at least to help that Michael who goes about opening new accounts every day to cancel people's posts, not to fully lose his sanity ). Imagine using Naira symbol as part of the logo of Nairaland as if it's a currency trading site. 225 Likes 19 Shares |

How do they know fake from real. Since opening another one is as easy as creating another moniker on Nairaland after you are been blocked by mod. Na Facebook go tire. Scammers won't rest. |
