"In 2013, the State Department, which has more than 400,000 likes and was recently most popular in Cairo, said it would stop buying Facebook fans after its inspector general criticized the agency for spending $630,000 to boost the numbers.

In one case, its fan tally rose from about 10,000 to more than 2.5 million."

So, once Kerry took over as Secretary of State, he ended Clinton's criticized practice of buying Facebook fans?
