It purged thousands of Facebook accounts that were critical of the west.
SAN FRANCISCO: Meta today said it purged thousands of Facebook accounts that were part of a widespread online Chinese spam operation trying to covertly boost China and criticise the west.
“For the first time we’ve been able to tie these many clusters together to confirm that they all go to one operation,” Nimmo said. Facebook or Instagram accounts or pages identified as part of the “large and prolific covert influence operation” were taken down for violating Meta rules against coordinated deceptive behavior on its platforms.
Meta’s threat report also provided analysis of the Russian influence campaign called Doppelganger, which was first disrupted by the security team a year ago.
