The most popular Black Lives Matter page on Facebook turned out to be a scam run by white Australians after recent reports. The page had nearly one million followers and had raised hundreds of thousands in donations from online fundraising. This was discovered as they saw funds being deposited into an Australian bank account and shortly after reports came out the page was shut down. CNN contacted someone who believed to know more about the incident but he simply said that he, " once bought the domain name only and sold it.” The CEO of Facebook when discussing these fake news issues says that he is responsible and it was his mistake and that he is sorry.
