KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has been linked to a troll farm that promotes the government and criticises its detractors, according to a report by tech giant Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.

In its Quarterly Adversarial Threat Report, Meta claimed that about 1,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as Facebook groups and pages, were removed for violating its policy against coordinated inauthentic behaviour.
