Windows 10: Facebook banned Twinmark Media Enterprises in the Philippines

Brink · Jan 11, 2019

Today we banned a digital marketing group in the Philippines — Twinmark Media Enterprises and all its subsidiaries — from Facebook. This organization has repeatedly violated our misrepresentation and spam policies — including through coordinated inauthentic behavior, the use of fake accounts, leading people to ad farms, and selling access to Facebook Pages to artificially increase distribution and generate profit. We do not want our services to be used for this type of behavior, nor do we want the group to be able to reestablish a presence on Facebook.

Here’s a breakdown of what we’ve removed as part of this ban:

Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 220 Facebook Pages; 73 Facebook accounts; 29 Instagram accounts

Followers: About 43 million accounts followed at least one of these Facebook Pages

Facebook Pages with highest number of followers:

Filipino Channel Online: 10.4 million

Gorgeous Me: 5.7 million

Unhappy: 4.9 million

Text Message: 4.4 million

TNP Media: 4.3 million

Again, our decision to remove this organization, and the Pages and accounts it controls, is based on the behavior of these actors who repeatedly violated our misrepresentation and spam policies, rather than on the type of content they were posting.

This specific investigation began after we learned that Twinmark was selling admin rights to Facebook Pages it had created, in order to increase distribution and generate profit, which violates our spam policy. This prompted our teams to take a deeper look at a broader group of Pages and accounts associated with these users, ultimately uncovering a large network of Pages and accounts that were engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior, the use of fake accounts, leading people to ad farms and selling access to Facebook Pages.

We are continuously working to uncover this kind of abuse, and we know that the people behind it — whether economically or politically motivated — will continue to evolve their tactics. Today’s announcement is just one of the many steps we have taken to prevent bad actors from abusing our platform. We will continue to invest heavily in safety and security in order to ensure that people can continue to trust the connections they make on Facebook.

Content Examples

Below is a selection of Pages and posts we have taken down as part of this network, for violating our coordinated inauthentic behavior and spam policies.

The following two Pages are examples of where a Page name was changed after it had built up a large following, substantially changing the Page’s subject matter. This is in violation of our Page policies, as it misleads the Page’s followers...

Philippines WP7

It's not available in the Philippines and I've not seen the Philippines on the list of nations to which the Marketplace is coming.

If you set up a USA live account you won't be able to purchase applications, but you will be able to access free ones. Also note that once a country is set on the Zune account associated with the Live ID it can never be changed.

Installation media boots to command prompt

... Ive never seen an install disk go directly to command prompt...
Click to expand...

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

Windows logo on a black screen

circling dots appear beneath the logo

light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots

a command prompt window (very briefly)

the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.
