People are using them to promote their products and for spam purpose. You may find thousands of group having 200k+ members. So do you think all those people have joined them themselves?

Hi. I have problem being added to groups that I didn’t want to. They appear in my “favourite” list. When I went into the groups, I actually haven’t even join the group. But I wonder why each day I’m getting new lists of groups added to my favourite. Is it a new advertising propaganda by Facebook? Could you help me please? It’s frustrating to see the list goes longer each day.
