The company is also making some changes to groups and will stop recommending health-focused communities.
Facebook said Thursday it removed more than 1 million groups over the past year for breaking the platform’s rules, and took down more than 13 million posts for violating specific policies on organized hate and hate speech.
It said around 9 in 10 pieces of content removed from groups was found by the company's automated systems. Over the summer, Facebook removed hundreds of groups themed around the “Boogaloo” anti-government extremist movement. It also removed or restricted thousands of groups and pages dedicated to armed militias and the QAnon conspiracy theory, following an internal investigation that uncovered thousands of groups and pages with millions of members and followers.
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.
