Facebook Goes Gunning for Zombie “Likes”

AUGUST 31, 2012 AT 9:00 AM 


"Facebook is a ginormous site whose primary currency is “Likes.” So, of course, it has a counterfeit “Like” problem.
Now Mark Zuckerberg and company say they’ve figured out how to crack down on zombie “Likes,” via “automated efforts” that will zap the bogus ones.
blog post announcing the move says that most people won’t notice the change, because “on average, less than 1% of likes on any given Page will be removed.”
But I bet that some big brands and/or personalities that have many millions of “Likes” may see their numbers chopped more dramatically."
