SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Facebook on Friday said it has dismantled seven separate networks of fake accounts and pages on its platform that were active in Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Myanmar, Georgia, and Ukraine due to "coordinated inauthentic behaviour".
The social media platform announced it had taken down the new networks as part of its monthly report into "coordinated inauthentic behaviour", which also noted Facebook had removed nearly 8,000 pages involved in deceptive campaigns around the world in October.
