1 crore accounts deleted on Facebook, know what is the reason

To get rid of fake accounts and spam content on Facebook, about 1 crore profiles have been removed. Meta has taken this step in the first half of 2025 to deal with spammy content, in which big content creators have been shown the way away from the platform. Meta wants to make Facebook feed more relevant and authentic with this step. This is taking action against accounts involved in spammy activity such as content created using artificial intelligence tools and removing them. Let’s know about it in detail.

Meta said in a blog post that under this initiative, Meta wants to promote real posts of creators, for which more stringent steps are being taken. Facebook has also taken action against about 5 lakh accounts, which were found to be involved in inauthentic behavior and spam. Under this, their comments were reduced and content distribution was also limited. The aim is to make it difficult for these accounts to monetize their posts.

Meta said that content is inauthentic when photos or videos are reused without giving credit to the original creator. Meta said that it now has technology that will detect duplicate videos and limit that content distribution.

This action against spam and inauthentic content has been taken as Meta increases its investment in AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Monday that he will spend billions of dollars on AI computing infrastructure to bring the company’s first supercluster online next year.

Not only Facebook has taken strict measures on spam content, but YouTube has also changed its monetization rules due to AI and spam content. AI is making content creation easier on social media platforms at a large scale. Other platforms are also taking steps to deal with the growing number of spammy, low-quality content on social media.
