Facebook Uncovers More Coordinated Inauthentic Activity, in Iraq and Ukraine

Accounts, pages and groups were removed

Facebook removed pages, groups and accounts tied to two unconnected operations originating in Iraq and Ukraine, respectively, for coordinated inauthentic behavior.

Head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher said in a Newsroom post that both operations created networks of accounts and used fake accounts to mislead users, adding, “We are making progress rooting out this abuse but, as we’ve said before, it’s an ongoing challenge. We’re committed to continually improving to stay ahead. That means building better technology, hiring more people and working more closely with law enforcement, security experts and other companies.”
