Face­book con­firmed on Thurs­day that it took down a large pri­vate group ded­i­cat­ed to anti-vac­cine content.

The com­pa­ny said the group was flagged for vio­lat­ing its poli­cies on recidi­vism — which stops group admins from cre­at­ing anoth­er group sim­i­lar to the one the com­pa­ny removed — as well as vio­lat­ing its poli­cies against QAnon.

NBC News pre­vi­ous­ly report­ed on the anti-vaxxer Face­book group, which it report­ed played up sto­ries of vac­cine deaths and tar­get­ed griev­ing mothers.
