Social media firm Facebook took down a group supporting Donald Trump after violent posts were posted on the group with fake claims of Democrats stealing the votes being made. The group named “Stop the Steal” was adding 1,000 new members every 10 seconds and was joined by over 365,000 members in a day. The group called for “boots on the ground to protect the integrity of the vote." It was removed under “exceptional measures”.
