which covers multiple policy violations within its platforms including Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour . Interesting enough, one of the CIB operations that were highlighted in the new report is a troll farm in Malaysia.
By definition, CIB is essentially a concerted effort to mislead the public through the usage of predominantly fake accounts, Pages, and Groups. As noted in , the information published by these accounts, Pages, and Groups may not be false or go against Meta’s policies but they were removed from the company’s platform for not being who they claimed to be.In the report, Meta noted that the troll farm was discovered after some of its activities were highlighted by researchers at Clemson University who originally thought that it originated in China. The company has since removed 596 Facebook accounts, 180 Pages, 11 Groups, and 72 Instagram accounts.
Meta also pointed out that the farm also operated on TikTok and Twitter. The report also noted how the troll farm is rather political in nature as the accounts, Pages, and Groups activities mainly revolved around memes in Bahasa Malaysia that depicts support toward the current government while at the same time claiming that there is corruption among its critics.
The most shocking revelation made by the report is that the investigation made by the company showed the troll farm has links to Royal Malaysia Police . Not only that, the farm has also spent around RM26,724 for advertisements on Facebook and Instagram.That is one massive claim and we predict will trigger a response from PDRM.
