Facebook Fakes 5/24/19 Ci 5a

In business news…  real or fake? Only Facebook knows for sure!

Officials at Facebook say they’ve removed over three-billion fake accounts over a six month period.

 The fake accounts were apparently not too difficult to spot…  as experts say the unauthentic profiles were done in “batches” by unsophisticated “bad actors.”

 During the first quarter of this year, Facebook says it removed or labeled over a million pieces of terrorist content, 52-million instances of violent or graphic material…  and over seven-million posts that contained hate speech messages.

 The new push to weed out fake news and hate speech comes as part of the social giant’s effort to crack down on the spread of  hate speech, graphic photos, videos and abusive content on its platform
