今年6月，美國競爭與市場管理局(CMA)在發現“令人不安的證據”表明虛假在線評論市場正在蓬勃發展後，要求Facebook和eBay進行審查。
George Lusty, CMA’s senior director, told the British agency: “It is unacceptable that Facebook groups promoting fake reviews seem to be reappearing. Facebook must take effective steps to deal with this problem by quickly removing the material and stop it from resurfacing.”
CMA的高級主管喬治•萊斯蒂(GeorgeLusty)對英國通訊社表示：“Facebook上推廣虛假評論的團體似乎又出現了，這是不可接受的。Facebook必須採取有效措施來解決這個問題，迅速刪除這些內容，並阻止其再次出現。”

社會網絡補充道，“為防止此類濫用，我們將繼續改進我們的工具，包括在技術上的投資，並將安全和安保團隊的規模增加到30000人。”
