Social media app FB has faced many problems this year and that too from many nations. Facebook has recently eliminated 276 accounts that used fake profiles to pose as right-leaning Americans and comment on news articles, often in courtesy of President Donald Trump, the company declared on Thursday. The platform also lastingly prevented an Arizona-based digital communications firm that it said was there behind the fake accounts. The move was proposed by reporting last month in The Washington Post that a pro-Trump group known as Turning Point Action was paying teenagers to post coordinated, supportive messages, a violation of Facebook’s rules.

Facebook and Twitter have been constantly removing fake accounts both domestic and foreign that try to inject themselves in the US political discourse and influence the election. But social media companies face broader warnings around misinformation and voter suppression that at times come from President Donald Trump himself. The latest network Facebook removed became active before the 2018 midterm elections and went dormant until June when the accounts began posting on topics including the coronavirus pandemic, criticism of the Democratic Party and its nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, as well as praise for Trump and other Republicans.

One post that Facebook cited as an example read, “So sick of democrats continuing to make republicans look bad! It makes me tired of politics and I just believe Republicans are much more humble when it comes to money because Democrats will do anything to screw over Americans." Individuals behind the accounts used stock photos to create fake profiles, many of which were removed by Facebook’s automated detection software. Facebook decided that the accounts were being regulated by Rally Forge, an Arizona-based firm.
