Facebook announced that it banned Twinmark Media Enterprises, a digital marketing group in the Philippines, and all of its subsidiaries from its platform for repeat violations of its policies on misrepresentation and spam.
Head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher said in a Newsroom post that the ban encompasses 220 Facebook pages, 73 Facebook accounts and 29 Instagram accounts, adding that some 43 million accounts followed at least one of those pages.
