Meta removed a Chinese influence network that attempted to inflame political tensions on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter ahead of the midterm elections. The accounts impersonated Americans to target people over hot-button issues.
The operation which originated in China got little engagement and was not directly attributed to the government in Beijing.
None of the posts reached a large audience. In all, there were 81 Facebook accounts, eight Pages, one Group and two accounts on Instagram. Meta said it removed all of them for violating its policies against “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”
