Facebook urged to tackle spread of fake profiles used by US police

A Guardian report recently revealed a secret network of accounts operated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has called on Facebook to address the proliferation of undercover law enforcement accounts on the social networking site following a Guardian report that revealed a secret network of accounts operated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

EFF, a digital civil liberties not-for-profit, said law enforcement agencies are able to create fake accounts to spy on users, despite Facebook's policy which prohibits all users, including government agencies, from making them.
