Facebook also says it's reacting faster to illicit sales of drugs and firearms.
The company also said it disabled 2.19 billion accounts it suspected were fake in Q1 of 2019, up from 1.2 billion accounts in Q4 of 2018.
The uptick was due to "automated attacks by bad actors who attempt to create large volumes of accounts at one time," the company said. Specifically, Facebook disabled 2.19 billion accounts in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 1.2 billion accounts in the fourth quarter of 2018. Facebook said it proactively detected and took action on 83% of 900,000 pieces of drug sale content in the first quarter of 2019. That was up from 77% the previous quarter.
