    I feel like this headline is slightly misleading and a bit clickbait by intentionally omitting why they were removed.

    including spamming Facebook groups with identical pieces of content and using fake profiles.

    “...that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior”

      Yeah, a similar NYT article focuses on a specific right wing group while only very briefly mentions why Facebook removed them and similar left wing groups.
