  • Facebook's Fake Account Problem
    Jul 10 2024
    From January to March 2024, Facebook deleted 631 million fake accounts. This huge number makes people wonder if Facebook has been honest about its user numbers.


    What's the Big Deal? Facebook keeps fighting fake accounts. Every few months, they remove hundreds of millions of them. For example, in late 2023, they deleted 690 million fake accounts. This shows it's a constant problem.


    Fake accounts are bad because they can spread false information, scam people, and trick others. The number of fake accounts means some people are working hard to misuse Facebook.
