QAnon groups, known for spreading conspiracies, removed from Facebook as it expands anti-violence policy


It is to be noted that QAnon, a US-based organisation, is widely known for its theory about President Donald Trump at war with pedophiles within the Democratic Party. The group has also put out posts casting doubts about the novel coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. The new policy will also remove pages that delve into discussions of violence without specifically endorsing violent acts. "As a result of some of the actions we`ve already taken, we`ve removed over 790 groups, 100 Pages and 1,500 ads tied to QAnon from Facebook, blocked over 300 hashtags across Facebook and Instagram, and additionally imposed restrictions on over 1,950 Groups and 440 Pages on Facebook and over 10,000 accounts on Instagram," the release stated. The new policy will also remove pages that delve into discussions of violence without specifically endorsing violent acts.
