Facebook says it removed more than 1,000,000 groups over the past year for breaking the platform’s rules, and took down more than 13,000,000 posts for violating specific policies on organized hate and hate speech.
that uncovered thousands of groups and pages with millions of members and followers.
Facebook also announced a series of small changes around how it will enforce its existing rules and recommend groups, in an effort “to reduce harmful content and misinformation.” Administrators and moderators of groups taken down for breaking rules will no longer be able to create any new groups for 30 days, a move seemingly meant to stop users from evading group bans.
Facebook will begin archiving groups without admins, a move that will likely affect groups that haven’t been in use for some time. As part of this action, it has been proactively alerting individual users in groups without administrators, suggesting they fill the role. The company will also stop its algorithm from recommending health groups, stating in the post that while “health groups, can be a positive space for giving and receiving support during difficult life circumstances,” it is “crucial that people get their health information from authoritative sources.”
Facebook’s definition of health groups was vague. “We use machine learning to determine groups that post a significant amount of health-related content including medical advice, and remove those groups from our recommendations surfaces,” company spokesperson Leonard Lam said.
