Banter18+ and PureBanter18+ were both recreated shortly after being removed last night.

The groups have been set to "secret" and do not show up if you search the name on Facebook.

Users must be sent a link or invited to the group by an existing member.

A member, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "The group was shut down and a new one was set up within 10 minutes.

"It is now set to secret, which is why you can't find it. The only way you can get in is through current members."

He added: "The group were mocking The Sun's report and Facebook - they just set up a new one straight away. "

Facebook is investigating the new "ghost" groups - but are struggling to keep track of the pages.

Trolls share jokes about slavery, rape and abortion on the sickening groups, which have thousands of members.

An admin of “Pure Banter 18+” last week shared a sick joke about PC Keith Palmer, who lost his life in the Westminster terror attack.

He shared a photo of the dead Metropolitan Police officer and said: “Has anybody seen my dad?

“He went to work on Thursday and hasn’t come home since. I’m starting to get really upset and worried about him.

“Why are people telling me not to turn on the news?”

After being contacted by The Sun Online, Facebook removed a number of groups.

A spokesperson said: “We encourage our community to let us know when there’s content they think breaks our community standards, and we appreciate The Sun bringing such content to our attention.

“Following our investigation, we worked quickly to remove several of the groups reported to us, and identified several other posts which have no place on our platform.”
