BREAKING: Facebook bans about 900 pages and groups and 1,500 ads tied to QAnon, part of a sweeping action that also restricted the reach of 10,000+ Instagram pages and almost 2,000 Facebook groups pushing the baseless conspiracy theory.
The new policy states that “Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts associated with these movements and organizations will be removed when they discuss potential violence."
QAnon, militia movements and violent movements tied to protests will now no longer be allowed to purchase ads on Facebook. QAnon ads, which often pushed merchandise, were allowed on the platform before Wednesday’s announcement.Facebook will now downrank QAnon, militia and anarchist protest groups on users’ News Feeds and in Facebook and Instagram’s search engines. The groups and accounts will no longer be featured in the “recommendations” sidebar on similar pages.
A Facebook spokesperson said the enforcement actions will continue as the company works to evolve its strategy. “This doesn’t mean we’ve captured all of the ones we want to restrict yet,” the spokesperson said. “We 100 percent know that they’re going to change their terminology. We don’t think we’re flipping a switch and this won’t be a discussion in a week.”Brandy Zadrozny
