‘Do Android’s Dream Of Electric Memes’ Facebook page stolen, filled with spam

At the moment there are two core Facebook meme pages with the title ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Memes’. One has 147 thousand likes, the other has 14 thousand. The other difference? The bigger page was stolen a few months ago, while the other page is a regroup attempt from the original ‘Electric Memes’ admins.

Pages like DADoEM can sell for big bucks to crappy groups wishing to share ad-rich low quality content. In this case, though, the original ‘Electric Memes’ page was simply stolen and taken over. Since then the old page has started stealing posts from the new page while also sending out regular bursts of click bait:

So how do you get back a stolen meme page, or at the very least shut it down? By fighting Zuck fire with Zuck fire apparently:

It’s an interesting example of the wildly popular though questionable sides of Facebook which thrive on content that is often provocative or misleading. As ‘Fake News’ enters the Trump White House’s language too it shows how valuable some Facebook page’s audiences can be to people wishing to make a cheap buck.

Best of luck to the original admins in shutting down the old page.
