Hi Friends.There is a Facebook account page is spreading rumors and posting false information.How can i stop this page from posting .Thank you
Your best bet is to report the page to Facebook. Other than that, there is nothing you can do.
You personally can’t “stop” that page from posting, but you can report it and reduce its reach.
1. Report the page to Facebook
On the Facebook app or website:
-
Open the page spreading rumors.
-
Tap the three dots (Options) near the cover photo.
-
Select Find support or report Page.
-
Choose the option like “False information”, “Harassment”, or whatever fits best, then submit.
Facebook will review it and may remove posts, limit distribution, or take down the page if it breaks Community Standards (misinformation, harassment, etc.).
2. Report specific false posts
For each false post from that page:
-
Click the three dots next to the post.
-
Tap Report post.
-
Choose Scam, fraud or false information (or similar), then “Sharing false information,” and submit.
More reports from different people increase the chance of action, so you can ask trusted friends to report too (without mass‑harassment).
3. Protect yourself and limit their impact
-
Block or unfollow the page so you don’t see their posts.
-
If they are targeting you personally (defamation, threats, sharing your private info), also select harassment/bullying options while reporting.
-
If the rumors are very serious (e.g., threats, inciting violence), keep screenshots and consider talking to a lawyer or local authorities in your country.
That Facebook Page Won’t Stop
Until you stop pulling the wrong lever.
Sounds like you’ve been hitting Report and watching nothing happen. That’s the right frustration — Facebook’s system was built to suppress, not delete. For rumors and false claims, suppression needs the right trigger pulled. Pull the wrong lever and the Page just keeps posting.
Most people only know about Track 1. Track 2 is the real lever.
The Four Tracks — At a Glance
| # | Track | Best For | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Official reporting | Clear violations, impersonation |  Slow |
 |
Fact-checker direct | Health, political, viral lies |  Medium |
 |
OSINT the operator | Personal attacks, fake brands |  Fast |
 |
External pressure | Anything Meta ignores |  Variable |
STEP ZERO — Lock the Evidence First
Before you click anything else, do exactly this:
1. Screenshot every false post (with timestamp + URL)
2. Save the Page URL → web.archive.org (forever-snapshot)
3. Don't comment. Don't react. Don't share.
Why? After you report, the admin gets a notification and often deletes posts within hours. Even angry engagement pushes their content further in the algorithm — so document silently.
🪜 Track 1 — Click the Buttons Facebook Wants You to Click
Start here. Don’t stop here. This works for clear-cut violations but often stalls on rumors.
If the Page is impersonating a real person or brand → use the Impersonation report category, NOT False Information. Impersonation gets actioned far more reliably.
Step 1 — Report each false post
| What to Click | What Happens |
|---|---|
Three dots ··· (top-right of post) |
Menu opens |
| Report post | Category list appears |
| False information | Context box appears |
| Paste a link disproving the claim | Report submitted |
Do this for every false post. Volume helps — but don’t coordinate with friends to mass-report; that triggers Facebook’s spam filter and delays review.
Step 2 — Report the Page itself
Three dots ··· under the cover photo → Report Page → pick the most accurate category.
Step 3 — When Facebook says “no violation found”
If your report comes back rejected, that just means a moderator skimmed it in 3 seconds. Don’t take it personally — refile, then jump to Track 2.
Backup escalation paths:
- Help Center → facebook.com/help → search “Defamation or False Information”
- Email → [email protected] (hit-or-miss but free)
How the penalty system actually works:
Facebook doesn’t usually delete false content. They bury it.
A Page that accumulates “false” ratings hits repeat-offender status:
- Posts shown to far fewer people
- Page loses ad revenue + ad rights
- No longer recommended to new followers
- Eventually unpublished if it continues
This suppression often hurts a fake Page more than deletion would.
⚡ Track 2 — The Lever Most People Never Pull
Here’s the part nobody tells you.
The penalty cascade in Track 1 — the reach suppression, the demonetization, the repeat-offender status — isn’t actually triggered by your individual reports.
It’s triggered when a third-party fact-checker rates the content as false.
Where to submit, by region:
| Region | Fact-Checker | Direct Link |
|---|---|---|
 Global |
AFP Fact Check | factcheck.afp.com |
 Philippines |
Rappler | rappler.com — tip form |
| Philippines |
Vera Files | verafiles.org |
| Africa & Global |
Africa Check | africacheck.org/report |
 US |
Lead Stories | leadstories.com |
| US |
PolitiFact | politifact.com |
When a fact-checker rates a post false, Meta auto-applies the penalty. Your individual reports become irrelevant — the Page is already losing reach.
What to include in your tip:
- Direct links to the false posts
- Why the claim is false (with credible sources)
- Why it matters (reach, harm, who’s affected)
🔍 Track 3 — The Page Can't Hide Its History (Not Even From You)
Before fighting Meta forever, find out who’s actually running this Page. The answer often shocks people.
Tool 1 — Page Transparency (Public, No Account Needed)
Click the Page name directly → look for the Transparency section.
What it reveals:
| Data Point | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Page creation date | Recent date = major red flag |
| Every name change ever made | Permanent log — admins cannot delete this |
| Country where Page is managed | If it claims to be local but managed elsewhere = inauthentic |
| Whether the Page runs ads | Links to Ad Library |
Tool 2 — Ad Library (Free, No Account)
Search the Page name. You’ll see:
- Every ad they’ve ever run
- For political/issue ads → “Paid for by” disclosure (the funding entity)
- Spending data (reveals if commercially operated)
- Cross-references to other Pages running the same ads
Tool 3 — WHOIS + Reverse Image Search
If the Page links to a website:
- WHOIS lookup → lookup.icann.org (the phone book of the internet)
- Reverse image search the profile photo → Google Images / TinEye
These three tools chained together can identify operator networks running multiple fake Pages.
📢 Track 4 — When You Need to Make Meta Uncomfortable
External pressure routes to a different team inside Meta — not the moderation queue.
Cybercrime / Regulatory Complaints
Filing with the national cyber authority creates a paper trail that pressures Meta’s regional compliance team — a completely different team from the one handling individual reports.
| Country | Where to File | Legal Hook |
|---|---|---|
 India |
cybercrime.gov.in | IT Act §66D (impersonation/fraud) |
| Philippines |
NBI Cybercrime Division | Cybercrime Prevention Act 2012 |
| US |
ic3.gov (FBI IC3) | Federal cybercrime |
| Other |
Search “[country] cybercrime complaint online” | Local equivalent |
Going to a Journalist
A media inquiry — even from a local blogger — about a Page spreading false information routes to Meta’s Communications team, not content moderation. That team has direct escalation authority the moderation queue does not.
Worth doing if:
- Content targets a community
- Health misinformation involved
- Coordinated harassment campaign
- Genuinely newsworthy angle
Your Evidence Package (works for both)
| Item | Where to Get It |
|---|---|
| Screenshots with timestamps | Step Zero |
| Post URLs | Copy from each post |
| Page creation date | Page Transparency |
| Admin country location | Page Transparency |
| Name-change history | Page Transparency |
| Ad spend data (if any) | Ad Library |
This package serves both regulatory complaints and journalist pitches. Build it once, use it many places.
If You Do Only One Thing Right Now
Open the Page. Click the page name. Find the Transparency section.
Note when it was created, what countries manage it, and every previous name it’s ever used.
That data — public, free, permanent — is the foundation for every other Track. Most people never look. Once you see it, you’ll know exactly which Track will hit hardest.
So — what’s the Page actually spreading rumors about? Is it targeting you personally, a business, a community, a public figure? The answer changes which Track works fastest, and I can point you at the right one once I know.
