Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and in the run-up to the US election, conspiracy movements and extremist groups used Facebook to amplify their message to as large an audience as possible, recruit new members and organise offline events.

The so-called Stop the Steal movement alleging election fraud, which included individuals involved in the 6 January Capitol riots, had a huge reach on Facebook.

BBC Monitoring's research identified 78 Stop the Steal groups on the platform with hundreds of thousands of members just a week after the election. Of those, 60 were still accessible even a week after the attack on the Capitol.

Militia groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and major conspiracy movements like QAnon attracted hundreds of thousands of users on Facebook, and were removed only a few weeks before the US election.

Facebook was also a source of many viral misleading claims about Covid-19.

Followers of major anti-vaccination Instagram accounts increased nearly five-fold in 2020 and top anti-vaccination Facebook pages grew by 19%. The company announced it would start taking action against anti-vaccine content this year.

Critics also claim most of Facebook's attempts at controlling the growth of misinformation and extremism are focused on English language content and more specifically, content posted in the US, as that's where most of the pressure on its leadership comes from.

The company has repeatedly defended itself from such claims, saying it has taken extensive measures to keep its platform safe and remove violent movements.
