Banned but still paid: How disinformation accounts keep monetising on Facebook

The study reveals that even after being flagged multiple times for spreading fake content, certain Facebook pages continue to earn revenue through ads and sponsorships, even post-suspension. This troubling trend highlights how Facebook's policies may be insufficient in curbing misinformation, raising concerns about the platform's role in perpetuating disinformation. The implications suggest a need for more stringent measures to ensure that monetization doesn't incentivize the spread of false information, which can have far-reaching consequences for public trust and societal well-being.
