Facebook is considered as the largest social media network with 2.07 billion active users per month. However, according to the third-quarter earnings report released on Wednesday, the social media giant has confessed that up to 270 million accounts on the network are fake or duplicates or illegitimate, which is somewhat more than it had previously thought.
Facebook explained that the changes were due to “a new methodology for duplicate accounts that included improvements to the data signals we rely on,” reported Business Insider.
While a relatively small percentage of Facebook’s massive user base, the 10% figure means that there are now roughly 207 million duplicate accounts and as many as 60 million fake accounts on the network.
“We continuously monitor and aggressively take down those accounts. These accounts tend to be less active and thus we believe impact DAU less than MAU,” Facebook’s CFO commented.
