The listed company is believed to review in excess of 6.5 million reports of potentially fake accounts a week. “Facebook cannot keep control of its content,\u201d a source told the Guardian. \u201cIt has grown too big, too quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Guardian:<\/p>\n
Facebook’s head of global policy management, Monica Bickert, said in a statement: “Keeping people on Facebook safe is the most important thing we do. We work hard to make Facebook as safe as possible while enabling free speech.<\/p>\n
