Facebook on Tuesday announced that it had taken down more than 100 fake accounts and pages linked to the Philippine military and police that targeted activists and dissidents, and over 150 others based in China that supported President Duterte and the possible presidential bid by his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
The Digital Forensic Research Lab of the US-based Atlantic Council found that Cabales was also the operator of a network of fake accounts that had been “demonizing leftists and youth organizations” and “Red-tagging the President’s critics.”Speaking to the Inquirer by phone, Philippine Army spokesperson Col. Ramon Zagala decried the DFRLab’s “sweeping” statement against Cabales and asked for its basis in making accusations against the officer.
Bayan Muna Rep. Ferdinand Gaite said the “’Duterte Troll Army,’ some of whom are literally soldiers of the Armed Forces” were used to “spread lies, disinformation, and life-threatening slanders and terrorist-tagging.” Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque defended government officials and employees who may have Facebook or other social media accounts, saying “even government officials do have freedom of expression.”
“[We] also need to demand more responsibility and proactivity from Facebook and other social media platforms, and when they fail, we need to demand accountability, too,” he said.
NCorralesINQ Gawa kayo bagong accounts
NCorralesINQ AFP PNP MGA ULOL!!
NCorralesINQ Mas marunong pa kayo sa facebook na nagset ng policies at restrictions nila. Kung ipipilit nyo gusto nyo, gumagawa kayo ng sarili nyong social platform at dun kayo magpost, magtroll at maghasik ng mga kabulbulan nyo. 🤣🤣🤣

NCorralesINQ Such a priority hahaha, paano na yung mga blind followers na nauuto ninyo, paano na ang brainwashing tactics, sayang ang bilyones sa 'intelligence fund' na dito ginagastos hay
NCorralesINQ Laki ng intelligence budget nyo sir.
NCorralesINQ Don't sell your soul to the devil 😈
NCorralesINQ the soldiers must serve the country not the PRESIDENT.
NCorralesINQ Tawagan nio si Mack, General! 🤗
NCorralesINQ In other words, the AFP wants Facebook to restore the accounts of those who are violating rules and spreading misinformation that favors (or is it done in behalf of?) this regime. Rather than disciplining their officer who was involved, they'd prefer he be allowed to continue.
NCorralesINQ tahimik yata ang dds cult sa issue na to ah. 💩😂
NCorralesINQ HAHAHA WHY? To spread more propaganda?
NCorralesINQ Commissioner rowena_guanzon, bakit po sila may propaganda page aka 'advocacy' page? Is this even allowed, considering links to China is also discovered?
NCorralesINQ Nope, Facebook is not under any obligation to restore your accounts.
NCorralesINQ Bat kaya pati private advocacy pinapakialaman ng military? Hmmm...
NCorralesINQ Demanding? Hahaha’ sir, di po si diterte may ari ng FB. Private company po yan. Ang mas magandang solution po at ipa-block nyo po ang FB sa Pilipinas! Mas masaya yun!
NCorralesINQ This is where the questionably high intelligence budget went. Propaganda and fake news mongering.
NCorralesINQ guess INQ learned it's lesson on proper use of quotation. Hehe
NCorralesINQ AFP must serve the people not duterte. Are they private armies of duterte as he said my soldiers? He brags of the increase of their salaries and maybe perks? Pero galing s tax nmin yan.
NCorralesINQ AFP wants the virtual Brownshirts reinstated by FB.
NCorralesINQ What a bunch of babies!
NCorralesINQ Mga dilawan ang nakapaligid sa head ng FB Philippines na walang alam sa political landscape ng pinas, that's why.
NCorralesINQ well, well, well
NCorralesINQ Bakit dine deny pa na hindi sa kanila pero pinapabalik yung advocacy groups kuno nila. Nag violate yung pages ni’yo sa rules ni facebook, then that’s it. Gawa kayo bago na di pang troll and red tagging kase. 🤣
NCorralesINQ HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA 😂😂😂
NCorralesINQ Siya rin ba spokesperson ng mga 'advocacy ' groups na yun?
NCorralesINQ What advocacy is he talking about?
NCorralesINQ Ulol! Bistado na kyo😅😅😅😅🖕
NCorralesINQ Hu are this officials defending?! The accnts violated the policies of the org, why ask them to restore it?! Simple lang, pag may nagkasala ba sa batas and ask u to free them gagawin nyo?! 😏
NCorralesINQ Bakit china based?
NCorralesINQ Pwe!!!
NCorralesINQ Wew, demanding.
NCorralesINQ Serve and protect the Filipino, hndi yung facebook ang atupagin niyo, at red tagging.
NCorralesINQ It violated the standards. No matter what the 'advocacy' were if it doesn't follow the guidelines then it shouldn't be allowed to be active at all.
NCorralesINQ Advocacy na troll accounts? Ulol
NCorralesINQ there are trolls even in the military? they should be faithful to the constitution not to duterte.
NCorralesINQ So sad. Hindi komo't dinoble ang suweldo ninyo, papagamit na. Maintain your dignity and non-partisanship. Presidents come and go but the honor of a soldier should always remain.
NCorralesINQ Lol. Fools.
NCorralesINQ This is the first we heard of that but what really is that advocacy?
NCorralesINQ Kung maka-demand parang inyo ang facebook ha😂 me website ang AFP di po ba? dun niyo ilagay ang advocacy niyo.
NCorralesINQ Why advocate for a private promilitary groups when ur supposed to neutral on this issue?
NCorralesINQ '100 fake accounts & pages linked to the PH military & police that targeted activists & dissidents, and over 150 others based in China that supported Pres. Duterte and the possible presidential bid by his daughter...' This is 1 of Du30 legacy/mess, AFP should not b political.
NCorralesINQ Ganun galit kayo sa Fake news pero yung page nagpapakalat ng fake news?
NCorralesINQ Advocacy is not your mandate. Your mandate is to serve and protect the Filipino people.
NCorralesINQ unsa daw?
NCorralesINQ Goodluck.
NCorralesINQ StateSponsoredTrollArmy is a thing now? Not surprised.
NCorralesINQ Bwahahaha buti nga sa inyo. Hindi covered ng Anti Terror bill ang USA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

NCorralesINQ ilang mbps kaya ang internet nila? 🤪🤪🤪
NCorralesINQ alam na kung sino at bakit.
NCorralesINQ When AFP is more concerned with their banned troll pages than protecting WestPhilippineSea we are screwed 😐
NCorralesINQ Advocacy? Red tags critics
NCorralesINQ why need facebook? and who are you to command facebook? sa laki ng intellegence funds di kayo makagawa na magandang website para sa mga 'advocacy' ninyo
