Facebook is banning all QAnon accounts from its platforms as part of its move to block “militarized social movements” from operating and organizing online, the social media giant announced Tuesday. The move, which also extends to Instagram, represents the company’s strongest response yet to the controversial online right-wing conspiracy movement that has increasingly inserted itself into the nation’s political discourse. “Starting today, we will remove Facebook pages, groups, and Instagram accounts for representing QAnon,” the company said in a press release. “We’re starting to enforce this updated policy today and are removing content accordingly, but this work will take time and will continue in the coming days and weeks.
