Facebook removes hundreds of pages, groups and accounts linked to ‘inauthentic behavior’ in Russia, Iran
Facebook said on Tuesday it’s “removed multiple pages, groups and accounts” linked to “inauthentic behavior” on its platforms, including actions that originated in Russia and in Iran.
“These were distinct campaigns and we have not identified any link or coordination between them,” the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant said in a statement posted online. “However, they used similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing.”
