Facebook says it is investigating claims that bots are responsible for 80 percent of a company's advertising campaign clicks, but blames accusations that it tried to charge the same company for a page name change on a "miscommunication".
Online shopping platform provider Limited Run, formerly known as Limited Pressing, made the series of accusations in a post on its own Facebook page on 30 July, 2012. Since that time, the story has racked up 3,137 likes and Facebook, unable to ignore spiralling interest in the claims while its shares continue to tumble, publicly responded.
"We're currently investigating their claims," a spokesperson said. "For their issue with the page name change, there seems to be some sort of miscommunication. We do not charge pages to have their names changed. Our team is reaching out about this now."
