Facebook removes QAnon conspiracy group with 200,000 members

 

QAnon is a wide-ranging, unfounded conspiracy theory that a "deep state" network of powerful government, business and media figures are waging a secret war against Donald Trump.

 

A Facebook spokeswoman said the group was removed for "repeatedly posting content that violated our policies".

 

Last month both Twitter and TikTok also cracked down on QAnon content.

 

Twitter banned thousands of accounts and said it would block QAnon urls, while TikTok deleted hashtags that signposted QAnon videos.

 

The deleted Facebook group, called Official Q/Qanon, had nearly 200,000 members.

 

There are, however, many other QAnon groups that are currently still active on the platform.

 

QAnon followers are mainly supporters of the US president.
