Facebook announced on Friday, January 11, it was banning digital marketing group Twinmark Media Enterprises from the platform for violating its policies.
Twinmark Media Enterprises, the company behind Mocha Uson's favorite site Trending News Portal, was behind coordinated 'inauthentic behavior' and violated misrepresentation and spam policies
According to Facebook, "This organization has repeatedly violated our misrepresentation and spam policies — including through coordinated inauthentic behavior, the use of fake accounts, leading people to ad farms, and selling access to Facebook Pages to artificially increase distribution and generate profit. We do not want our services to be used for this type of behavior, nor do we want the group to be able to reestablish a presence on Facebook."
As a result, Facebook has removed 220 pages, 73 accounts, and 29 Instagram accounts. This follows an investigation which found that Twinmark was selling access and admin rights to Facebook pages that they created, among them TNP Media with 4.3 million followers.
"This specific investigation began after we learned that Twinmark was selling admin rights to Facebook Pages it had created, in order to increase distribution and generate profit, which violates our spam policy. This prompted our teams to take a deeper look at a broader group of Pages and accounts associated with these users, ultimately uncovering a large network of Pages and accounts that were engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior, the use of fake accounts, leading people to ad farms and selling access to Facebook Pages."
