The company explained that all these accounts were eliminated because they were identified as spreading false news and misinformation in a coordinated way.
This list was originally sent to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) in Goiás, which had requested this detail along with a justification for the exclusion of each one. The social network, however, gave only one justification for all exclusions. According to the company of Mark Zuckerberg, all these accounts "were part of a coordinated network that was hidden with the use of fake accounts in Facebook." The action to remove the pages and profiles of the social network would have come after a rigorous investigation, something similar to what happened in the United States recently.

Facebook pointed out that several of its rules have been broken by deleted accounts, among them: subtle accounts with fake names; mislead people about the source of content; mislead people in an attempt to encourage sharing, tannings, or clicks.
Controversy
That fact became controversial because at least four "free" accounts of MBL (Movimento Brasil Livre) were overturned by Facebook in this move. The pages of some publications that used to disclose MBL-related topics have also been removed.
However, out of almost 300 exclusions, fewer than 10 were directly linked to the MBL, which classified "social censorship" as "censorship". Many excluded profiles and pages implied, judging by their titles, that they did not address any relevant subject matter and could often be misunderstood. Among the excluded, several tried to go through the G1 news portal, Rede Globo, for example.
Profiles known to be politically left-aligned, such as Macho 2.0 Tests, were also excluded. You can check the complete list here.
