Facebook and Instagram have filed their first lawsuit over fake accounts, likes and followers from four companies and three people based in China.
On Friday, Facebook and Instagram filed a lawsuit in the U.S. federal court over fake accounts on its platforms.
Facebook and Instagram have sued four companies and three people based in China who promoted the sale of these fake accounts, likes, and followers. In addition to Facebook and Instagram, these companies sold fake accounts on Amazon, Apple, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter, Facebook said. Business Insider has reached out to these companies for comment.
This lawsuit will ask the court to prevent these companies and people from creating and promoting the sale of fake accounts, likes, and followers on Facebook and Instagram. In addition, it will ask the court to stop them from illegally using their trademarks on their websites and from using Facebook-branded domain names to run their websites.
"By filing the lawsuit, we hope to reinforce that this kind of fraudulent activity is not tolerated — and that we'll act forcefully to protect the integrity of our platform,"
