Facebook's biggest Black Lives Matter page apparently a scam

On the surface, the Facebook page had all the markings of an authentic Black Lives Matter group. Its profile picture - "BLACK LIVES MATTER" in block text against a bright yellow background - echoed the style and colors of the one used on Blacklivesmatter.com. The "Black Lives Matter"-emblazoned merchandise sold through the Facebook page all benefited related causes. And it had nearly 700,000 followers, making it the largest Facebook page affiliated with the movement. Or so people thought. As it turns out, the page was apparently a fraud, tied to an Australian man who had also registered dozens of other domain names related to black civil rights causes, according to a CNN investigation.
