Facebook is stepping up efforts to automatically identify fake accounts and Likes
Facebook says it's been fighting the operation for six months as part of a wider crackdown on fake accounts.

According to Facebook, the fake Likes are the result of a campaign to create fraudulent accounts that would Like popular pages, through which the fake accounts could then attempt to make friends to spam.
