Ahead Of U.S. Election, Facebook Suspends Political And New Group Recommendations

Facebook also said that as of Friday morning it was limiting the distribution of the ‘save our children’ hashtag, because of its connections with the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Social media platforms have been cracking down on content related to the unfounded conspiracy theory, which posits that U.S. President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a global cabal of child-sex predators that includes prominent Democrats, Hollywood elites and “deep state” allies.

A Facebook spokeswoman said people will still be able to use the hashtag but clicking on it will not bring up other instances of its use. If users search for the hashtag, they will be shown “credible child safety resources,” she said.
