Meta Eliminates 10 Million Fake Profiles to Combat Spam 🚫

Meta said Monday it removed around 10 million Facebook profiles, according to CNBC. The company's crackdown aims to make the Facebook feed more relevant and authentic by removing accounts that engage in spammy behavior, including AI-generated content. Meta is introducing stricter measures to promote original posts from creators as part of its effort to improve content authenticity. The company also took action against approximately 500,000 accounts for inauthentic behavior by demoting comments and limiting content distribution to reduce monetization. The move coincides with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of major AI investments, including a new supercluster slated for next year. The action comes as platforms like YouTube also move to limit monetization of repetitive, low-quality content.
