Fake accounts are a problem on social networks. Fake accounts can spread false information, flood their feeds with stock photos, memes and recycled images, or simply troll people. While fake accounts may not be harmful, some fake accounts can be used to make jokes, or they can spread false information. However, it is still concerning that millions of people have taken up fake identities.

Facebook, which had previously 1.7 billion fake accounts, took steps to reduce the number to 1.6 billion. Facebook removed a record number of fake accounts in the first quarter 2019. This shows how many fake profiles are out there on the internet.
