- Facebook Inc has removed a social media network in the Philippines for “coordinated inauthentic behavior”, and took the unusual step of linking it to a businessman who said he had managed the president’s online election campaign in 2016.

“The individuals behind this activity used a combination of authentic and fake accounts to disseminate content across a variety of pages and groups”, Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of Cybersecurity Policy, said in a statement, dated on Thursday. Gabunada told ABS-CBN News that it was “unfortunate” that Facebook linked him to the questionable pages and accounts.

Presidential Communications Operations Office Assistant Secretary Ana Marie Banaag said Duterte has only one communications group, the PCOO, and Gabunada is not part of it.
