Facebook/Meta has historically had serious problems with cloned accounts and “dubious” content, but recently I have seen slightly better moderation and removal of such content. I can only think that in the UK at least this is due to the upcoming Online Safety Act which has punitive financial penalties of up to 10% daily of a social media/platforms turnover. No company could survive repeated breaches of such an act and survive. So recently the flood of cloned accounts and dubious content which I try to report always has resulted in more action than recently achieved. Not always getting the right results but at least better than nothing! I am both pleased and yet slightly disappointed with this as the action IS welcomed, but the action just seems to be lip service for an upcoming act that was designed to make Meta better. I mean this could have worked out so much easier and better if Meta had been proactive years before! (I have heard from multiple sources that Facebook/Meta was the main reason the act came to be) so we should be grateful I guess but there is still way more work to do! Facebook has by fair the largest user base of social media networks and whilst it has seemed to become less relevant recently many millions still use it regularly!
