As a result, many admins give up the job and leave groups to run somewhat unmanaged - thus allowing them to turn into breeding grounds for misinformation, spam and abuse.įacebook last fall tried to address this problem by rolling out new group policies to crack down on groups without an active admin, among other things.
The company for years has been working to roll out better tools for these group owners, who often get overwhelmed by the administrative responsibilities that come with running an online community at scale.
