Bloody hell. Facebook has removed Official Q / QAnon, the movement's second largest Facebook page with nearly 200,000 members 😮 Between January and July, the page generated more than 10 million engagements and over 500,000 posts. Thanks to eagle-eyed @dpfunke for spotting this! 
Look at how page likes went up after Covid hit. There's only one other QAnon Facebook group with more likes (215,000) and that one's still up. I just quickly had a look at the other BIG QAnon groups/pages and they're all still there; at least for now! Analysis via @crowdtangle
Official Q / QAnon was a public group, not a page 🤦♂️ Apologies. Nearly 2am here and it's been a long day!
But this isn't the end of QAnon on Facebook. There are over 400 QAnon-themed pages/groups on there. Read this superb analysis by @_MAArgentino

Statement given to me by a Facebook spokesperson: "We've removed this group for repeatedly posting content that violated our policies."
