“Today, we removed 513 Pages, Groups and accounts forengaging in coordinated inauthentic behaviour as part of multiple networks tiedto Iran,” said Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s Head of CybersecurityPolicy.
“They operated in Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Kashmir, Kazakhstan or broadly across the Middle East and North Africa,” Gleicher added.
