Facebook has pulled down one of the biggest groups dedicated to the unhinged pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy, Reuters reports. The group, called Official Q/Qanon, had nearly 200,000 members when it disappeared from the site on Tuesday.

The QAnon theory—which holds the central belief that President Trump is secretly working to bring down a ring of child-sex predators—has been embraced by several Republicans running for Congress. Facebook has displayed a new willingness to move against Trump and his supporters this week. On Wednesday, Facebook deleted a post on Trump’s page that featured the president talking nonsense about kids being “almost immune” from COVID-19.
