Facebook deletes "fake fans" - which brands suffer?
One of the most controversial issues facing Facebook and the companies that establish their fan pages on the social network was the concept of “fake fans” – those fans that do not really exist or are bought to like a page. They are just a number that the brand can show off with, yet qualitatively, they have no value.
The social network decided to put an end to fake numbers and fan statistics, and now, several brands have lost a number of fans on the Facebook-pages.
