“Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts that represent an identified Militarized Social Movement are already prohibited. And we will continue to disable the profiles of admins who manage Pages and Groups removed for violating this policy, as we began doing in August,” the company says.
Facebook says it’s been vigilant about its policy, but “we’ve seen several issues that led to today’s update.”
“For example, while we’ve removed QAnon content that celebrates and supports violence, we’ve seen other QAnon content tied to different forms of real world harm, including recent claims that the west coast wildfires were started by certain groups, which diverted attention of local officials from fighting the fires and protecting the public.”

More choosy teens are choosing TikTok (BDNCE) over Instagram (FB -2.2%), according to a new report.
TikTok passed Instagram as the No. 2 most popular social media app among teenagers, Piper Sandler says. The Chinese short-video app is second in popularity only to Snapchat (SNAP -2.9%).
Piper’s report says 34% of teens list Snapchat as their favorite social app, followed by 29% choosing TikTok. Instagram was the favorite of just 25%.
Instagram still leads in usage, however: It logged 84% engagement in the survey, followed by Snapchat at 80% and TikTok at 69%.
But it’s an indicator that TikTok is continuing to grow market share among the young (TikTok’s 69% engagement is up from 62% in the spring).
