Facebook removed three more networks from its platform for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior, with two of them focused on the U.S.
The first network consisted of two pages and 22 Instagram accounts, which were removed for foreign interference.
Head of security policy Nathaniel Gleicher said in a Newsroom post Tuesday that the accounts were operated—wittingly and unwittingly—by individuals from Mexico and Venezuela, and the U.S. was their primary target.
Some of the people behind the accounts claimed to work for apparently nonexistent Polish firm Social CMS. The accounts posted in English and Spanish about news and current events in the U.S., including memes, a small portion of which had been posted by Russia’s Internet Research Agency.
Gleicher said Facebook began its investigation after receiving information about the network’s off-platform activity from the FBI.
One account followed at least one of the pages, and roughly 54,500 people followed one or more of the Instagram accounts, of which about one-half were in the U.S. Gleicher said the account with the largest following had under 15,000 followers.
