Social Media’s Impact on Homeland Security

QuestionScott asks how many counterfeit-pill-advertising accounts Meta has found (and by what method), whether Meta proactively refers such accounts to law enforcement without tipping off the account holder, and whether moderators search for the DEA's known "Emoji Drug Code" evasion patterns.

ResponseMeta reports Q2 2022 removal figures (98% of Facebook / 97% of Instagram drug-sale content caught proactively; 3.9M and 1.9M pieces removed respectively) rather than an exact counterfeit-pill account count, confirms it does notify account holders about law-enforcement information requests except in emergencies (potentially tipping them off, as Scott's question anticipated), and confirms it monitors for emoji-based drug-code evasion without describing its methods in detail.
