Facebook hopes its new feature can stop impersonators and online trolls

Facebook is about to debut a new feature that alerts users when it believes they have been targeted by online trolls.

If the US social network think you are being targeted by an impersonator, or are experiencing some suspicious online activity – it will quickly let you know.

Facebook rolled out a similar feature last year that warned its users when they were being monitored by a nation-state.

To track impersonators and online trolls, Facebook has developed a new tool that alerts them when accounts are set-up with the same names and photographs are existing users.

These accounts are most likely using stolen pictures and details. These accounts are most likely using stolen pictures and details

If Facebook spots one of these spam accounts with your name and photos, it will helpfully send you a notification so that you can act.

All you have to do is then flag it up to Facebook and a dedicated team at the US company will start to deal with the impostor.

Head of global safety for Facebook, Antigone Davis told Mashable : "It's a real point of concern for some women in certain regions of the world where (impersonation) may have certain cultural or social ramifications." 
According to reports, the ne safety feature has already rolled out to 75% of the site's users since the company started testing the feature in November.

If you haven't received a notification from Facebook – that probably means you're safe from copycats.
