Facebook cracks down on three networks of accounts originating from Russia for 'engaging in foreign interference' campaigns on the platform in Africa.
Facebook cracked down on three networks of accounts originating from Russia for"engaging in foreign interference" campaigns on the platform in Africa.
Facebook worked in conjunction with the Stanford Internet Observatory to remove the inauthentic accounts and pages. Facebook says their investigation connected this inauthentic activity to Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a Russian businessman with close ties to Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin has previously been indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice for his role in election meddling efforts in the U.S.
In Sudan, the network of accounts that were removed"used a combination of authentic accounts of Sudanese nationals, fake and compromised accounts — some of which had already been disabled by our automated systems — to comment, post and manage Pages posing as news organizations, as well as direct traffic to off-platform sites," Gleicher added.
