   Facebook suspended 30,000 French accounts ten days before a hotly contested   
   election.   
      
    Critics argue the move is in an attempt to censor Marine Le Pens surging   
   popularity.   
      
   Japan Today reported:   
      
   Facebook Inc said on Thursday it suspended 30,000 accounts in France as the   
   social network giant steps up efforts to stop the spread of fake news,   
   misinformation and spam.   
      
   The move, which comes 10 days before the first round of a hotly   
   contested French presidential election, is among the most aggressive   
   yet by Facebook to move against accounts that violate its terms of   
   service, rather than simply respond to complaints.
