Why did Facebook take this step?
There have been persistent criticisms by researchers and civil rights organisations regarding Facebook groups. According to them, Facebook has eagerly promoted misinformation. They believe that the platform, apart from offering a place to people with common interests, is providing a platform for organised radical activity. According to Tom Alison, Facebook’s vice president of engineering, “They want us to turn down the temperature a little bit”. During the US election and before the January 6 Capitol assault, Facebook groups were reported to spread misinformation and intense discourse. For instance, groups like “Stop the Steal” swiftly emerged even though their recommendations were stopped.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Facebook refrained from recommending health groups to users.

In the meantime, the company would analyse how the group is projected to function. Facebook stated that it would need some moderators to temporarily validate group posts. These posts pertain to the groups having rule-breaking members or those belonging to previously banned groups. However, Tom Alison, Facebook’s vice president of engineering, did not reveal the criteria to decide when a rule-breaking group or its members would be banned from the website.
