Facebook Inc. has found that its site hosts thousands of pages with millions of members that support the QAnon conspiracy theory movement, NBC News reported.
The top 10 QAnon groups on Facebook collectively have more than one million members, according to NBC. Totals from other groups push the numbers of members and followers beyond 3 million. The company’s investigation will help it decide how to take action against the groups, NBC said, citing documents and Facebook employees who spoke anonymously. Facebook is considering taking action similar to how it handles anti-vaccination groups which is to reject advertising and exclude QAnon groups and pages from search results and recommendations, NBC reported.
