Recently Facebook said that billions of fake accounts it has removed from its service from April-September, somewhat to 3.2 billion in the past six months.
Almost all the fake accounts got caught up before they had a chance to become active users of the social network, so now they are not in the counting of user figures, the company reports now and then. Facebook approximates that about 5% percent of its 2.45 billion of its users are fake.
On Wednesday, the company also said in a report that it has removed 18.5 million cases of child nudity and sexual exploitation from its service in the period of April-September, increased from 13 million in the previous 6 months. The company says that the increase in the number is just because of the improvements in the detection.
