I presume a firefox extension along the lines of Social Fixer would be able to filter all the likes/comments that come from pages rather than personal accounts. (But of course, a user needs to be aware of the issue in the first place, in order to want to install an extension to fix it)

Yeah, the problem is those that are seeing/potentially being manipulated by this are (I would imagine) highly unlikely to use a browser extension or (more likely, in developing nations where Facebook is forcing itself on users through the Internet.org project) on the mobile app anyway
