https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/ ... gZ8HJMm-xsFacebook removed hundreds of accounts on Thursday from a foreign troll farm posing as African-Americans in support of Donald Trump and QAnon supporters. It also removed hundreds of fake accounts linked to conservative media outlet The Epoch Times that pushed pro-Trump conspiracy theories about coronavirus and protests in the U.S.
Facebook took down the accounts as part of its enforcement against coordinated inauthentic behavior, which is the use of fake accounts to inflate the reach of content or products on social media.

Glad they are taking some action to identify fake profiles and troll farms. If only the posts could be removed before they were re-posted by people who take everything they see on FB as true, and share them under their own accounts.

Facebook is also now startring to remove Trump's misinformation and outright lies about the virus. Finally after almost four years of lying and getting away with it he's getting bolder.
Facebook took down a video posted by the campaign of President Trump on Wednesday in which he claimed children were immune to the coronavirus, a violation of the social network’s rules against misinformation around the virus.
