Facebook Removes 790 QAnon Groups

“Facebook said on Wednesday that it had removed 790 QAnon groups from its site and was restricting another 1,950 groups, 440 pages and more than 10,000 Instagram accounts related to the right-wing conspiracy theory, in the social network’s most sweeping action against the fast-growing movement,” the New York Times reports.

“Facebook’s takedown followed record growth of QAnon groups on the site, much of it since the coronavirus pandemic began in March.”
