Facebook says it has taken down domestic influence operations connected to 2 controversial right-wing figures: Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Trump and convicted felon, and Brazilian President Bolsonaro.

The Brazilian operation was aligned with Bolsanaro's Social Liberal Party and created “fictitious personas posing as reporters,” posting content from fictional news outlets. It was operated in part by employees who worked for Bolsonaro and two of his sons, Eduardo and Flavio, who are members of Brazil's legislature, Facebook said.

Though the Stone-associated network was primarily active in 2016 and 2017, it still had a significant presence, with more than 100 Facebook accounts and pages and 260,000 followers.

Action happens only when the pressure mounts with this leech.

The fact is Bolsonaro is on the same side of POTUS and is struggling with MSM fake news media. Who is awake for the war against evil knows how hard it is.

I saw a report where Bolsonaro is covid positive. Wouldn’t that be karma ... that man is a bigger environmental nightmare than trump, if that’s possible... okay they’re neck and neck...

Bandaids. He is just using bandaids and not solving the problem.

It's amazing what an advertiser boycott will do. Facebook actually took down some of the hate. BoycottFacebook

I deactivated my FB a month ago & in okay with it...too much hate speeches but I got flagged for calling somebody ugly...no joke💯

Very little very late Facebook. You might want to check the average age of your users and ask what happens when they're gone. You're Cadillac from 1996.

i love to use facebook to stay in touch with old school mates and family to see exactly how facebook has melted their brains.

I would trust Roger Stone over Joe Biden any day. Stone is in prison for a PROCESS CRIME (i.e. a crime that wouldn't exist without Mueller). Why take him down? Because Facebook can't stand to the mob of left wing soccer moms.

Don't buying products from companies that support and pay money to Facebook .... it's the only thing this billionaire understands ... money - Zuckerberg is the Bolsonaro of the tech world zuckerbergisBolsonaro

Too little, too late

Let me be crystal clear., turn the telegram on. Wait, why am I stopping?. Here 's what I 'm running for history Look, here's the deal., so if you know that to be true in your counties,. I would do exactly what we did then..

FB needs to take down FB

Or simply, “Big Tech continues censorship of dissenting viewpoints”

Big whoop.

Big deal. How many 1000's more FB pages are providing disinformation or spreading hate and causing divisiveness?

Mark applying two patches to try and save his sinking ship.

natzis out in the open. Silance, oppression, division, Demonkkkratic traits. Facebook making users illegal and deporting them to deletion. The media forgot their past and in all they want a Hollywood logan's run euthopia. No thanks.

Well I give Facebook a big fat F, for Failure! They need to spend some real money and remove racist hateful influencers from all of their platforms. It's way past time to validate every single user before allowing access.

Face book is ran by politician and just as corrupt as cnn. They threaten me and take down post all the time if it does fit their agenda. America is brainwashed. Watch the first 2 minutes. This is their only chance.

Why has it taken so long Facebook ?

Roger Stone has a tramp stamp of Richard Nixon. No. Not kidding

About freakin' time. One proven criminal and one going to jail after he leaves office!

.Facebook You’ve dipped a toe in. Now, dive on into your cesspool.

They need to go further!

Now do Facebook, the whole thing Zuck

Now do Tucker Carlson.

Hey Mark! What U going to do when we don't shop with any of your advertisers? U done woke the beast! U can't control it and U dam sure are to blame!

FaceBook is bowing to the alt left Nazis.

In India, Facebook should act fast to dissociate itself from the promotion of hate groups. I met Facebook India members who are part of the hate propaganda problem.

Only thousands more to go.

Facebook is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet.

Way to go Marky. Take the rest of the year off.

The pages included hacked materials released by Wikileaks ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
