Facebook said that it’s removed pages and content originating in Iran and Russia for “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” the social network’s latest effort to clean up the site in the aftermath of the 2016 election.
The company said in a blog post on Tuesday that it’s removed 652 pages, groups and accounts, which targeted people in the Middle East, Latin America, U.K. and the U.S.
“These were distinct campaigns and we have not identified any link or coordination between them,” the company said. “However, they used similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing.”
Facebook’s latest update on election meddling and platform abuse comes a month after it revealed a coordinated misinformation campaign around the coming midterm elections in November. The company said in July that it had removed 32 fake accounts and pages from both Facebook and Instagram after finding evidence of what Facebook called “inauthentic behavior.”
