Facebook takes down group for making false election claims and 'worrying calls for violence' after it amassed hundreds of thousands of members in 2 days

Supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump protest Nov. 5 in front of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth capitol building.A Facebook group called "Stop the Steal" was created Tuesday accusing Democrats of trying to steal the presidential election for Joe Biden. By Thursday, the group accumulated 365,000 members.

Facebook removed the group Thursday, saying it was organized around "the delegitimization of the election process," and some members were making "worrying calls for violence."Facebook removed a massively popular group from its platform Thursday after it was awash with claims of voter fraud and allegations Democrats were trying to steal the election from Donald Trump.

The Facebook group, called "Stop the Steal," was taken down after accumulating more than 365,000 members in just two days. Facebook says it removed the group because it was organized around "the delegitimization of the election process," and some members were making "worrying calls for violence." The online group echoes claims Democrats are "stealing" the presidential election, the outcome of which has still not been decided as of Thursday afternoon. These baseless allegations — which echo similar ones made by Trump on Twitter — have encouraged the public to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election outcome as votes continue to be counted across the nation, including in some key battleground states.
