Russian Disinfo Networks Busts Facebook As US Election LoomsOn Thursday, Facebook reported that three "coordinated inauthentic behavior" networks that promote misinformation, including nearly 300 Facebook and Instagram accounts, along with hundreds of Facebook pages and groups, have been taken down. The networks that Facebook tackled date back at least three years, but at the time they were caught, most had few followers. In order to prevent detection, Russian attempts have grown, he added, to recruit unsuspecting users to amplify their messages and create websites that exist beyond social media networks. "Facebook attributed "actors affiliated with political intervention in the US in the past, including those involved in 'DC leaks' in 2016," to one of the misinformation distribution networks. Although the US did not seem to be the primary focus for any of the three networks, Facebook stressed that they were all showing actions that could easily and quickly be turned against the US.
