Facebook has removed hundreds of fake pages and accounts linked to Russian operations, the company has confirmed.
In a blog post published Thursday, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, said the company had removed “multiple pages, groups and accounts that engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook and Instagram.”
Gleicher said the fake accounts were part of two separate operations, both originating in Russia.
