Facebook removes Roger Stone from Instagram after linking him to fake accounts

The network of more than 100 Facebook pages, accounts and Instagram accounts spent more than $300,000 on Facebook and Instagram ads to promote their posts. Some of the pages and accounts included false personas, an analysis commissioned by Facebook found.The pages posted about the hacked materials released by Wikileaks ahead of the 2016 presidential election, politics in Florida, and Roger Stone himself, among other topics, Facebook said.

According to court records, Stone's assistant said Stone purchased"a couple hundred fake Facebook accounts" in 2016 and used them to promote leaked Democratic documents that would help the Trump campaign. The network was also spreading content countering the US government's findings that Russian hackers stole from Democrats and later gave hacked documents to WikiLeaks for publication—which Stone had also pursued behind the scenes.

About time - Facebook needs to really get their shit together before the election in November

Now, if Facebook could get rid of those annoying ads in my news feeds. I swear they’re listening through phone 📱👀

But Donald Trump wants to pardon this guy...

Always blame somebody that knew the President.

We should ban CNN for hating Jesus

Investigate BLM!

When is CNN getting banned from all outlets for hate and lying content!

it's ironic that a group which claims to champion masculinity, has the gayest name anyone's ever heard.

OMG

Oh gee feeling the pressure FB from the boycott? SORRY! You need to do ALOT more!

It's about time advertisers have finally begun to boycott Facebook for all its lies, misinformation, bigotry, hateful rhetoric, cyberbullying, etc. Facebook has been profiting off of the worst of humanity for years. It's time advertisers hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable.

A little too late in the game, I would say.

While I don't condone hate speech, I would rather see what people are saying and know exactly who they are, despite it being distasteful or even evil, rather than have them take it underground and hide it - then we really don't know who we are dealing with...

Well done Facebook...

Lol

For a few dollars more.

Far left hate groups get to stay.

So now tell FB to shut down the far left and be something unique- report the story not you political view.

CNN racist far left extremists. Stop promoting division & violence! EnemyOfThePeople

medit8now Again - FB takes action now... a little late Evidently the lack of advertising $$$ is working? DeleteFacebook
