Facebook begins deleting thousands of profiles in massive purge...

Facebook has begun a long-awaited cull of fake users and profiles, after it was revealed up to 80 million people on the site didn't exist.

Beginning on Wednesday, the action saw tens of thousands of accounts deleted.

Some of Facebook's most popular pages saw their fan counts drop by as much as 100,000 following the cull.

Zynga's Texas HoldEm Poker game lost more than 96,000 fans, while Justin Bieber, South Park, Eminem and Rihanna all register five-digit drops, according to Techcrunch.

The move is intended to make Facebook a more attractive place for advertisers, by making it easier to target advertising at genuine users. Full story...
