Facebook has released information about how the social media company is acting against people producing inappropriate content or fake accounts. The social media has decided to close all the glitches of the site by dismissing 583 million fake accounts (that’s almost a quarter of the total accounts) in the first three months of 2018 as a way to enforce community standards.
This was as a result of the intense scrutiny the company came under earlier this year over the use of private data and the impact of harmful content on its 2.2 billion monthly users, with governments around the world questioning the company’s policies.

Facebook said those closures came on top of blocking millions of attempts to create fake accounts every day. Despite this, the group said fake profiles still make up between 3% to 4% percent of all the current active accounts. It also claimed to have detected almost 100 percent of spam and to have removed 837 million posts that had spam.
Along with fake accounts, Facebook said in its transparency report that it had removed 21 million pieces of content featuring sex or nudity, 2.5 million pieces of hate speech and almost 2 million items related to terrorism.
