The most popular pages are those affected in the most massive deletion. Thus, a pillar of the popular poker app from Zynga, shed more than 96 thousand likes in Wed Lady Gaga has lost 31 700 likes, and Rihanna 22 thousand likes. In addition, it appears that at least 18 000 Justin Bieber Mhliyakim of Facebook were not authentic.
