- Facebook Inc has announced it removed hundreds of pages, groups and accounts on its platforms for “coordinated inauthentic behavior” linked to three operations in Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Nigeria.

“This was a network of pages designed to appear like local media organizations and advocacy organizations,” said David Agranovich, Facebook’s Global Lead for Threat Disruption. Agranovich said Facebook also removed fake accounts related to two other unconnected networks in the Middle East and Africa. According to Agranovich, Facebook found evidence some of the pages had been purchased, with regular changing ownerships, as well as deep links to Egyptian newspaper El Fagr, “which is known for its sensationalistic content.”
