In 2017, the only network taken down under Facebook's coordinated inauthentic behavior policy originated in Russia.

Agranovich pointed to an"increase in amateur players in the space," with more home-grown networks adopting the sophisticated tactics previously used by elite groups trying to project influence abroad.
