Meta has removed over 3.7 million accounts, pages, and groups from Facebook and Instagram as part of a global operation against scams. The action targets accounts involved in fraudulent activities, primarily affecting users in the UK and the US. The company worked with international authorities to identify and remove these accounts.
The operation was part of a broader effort to combat online fraud. Meta claims the accounts were used to spread misinformation and conduct phishing attacks. The removals were carried out without prior notice to users.
This is not the first time Meta has taken such measures. Similar actions have been reported in previous months, targeting accounts linked to various forms of online deception. The company has emphasized its commitment to improving user safety and reducing harmful content.
