Facebook on Monday announced it had taken down networks belonging to Russian and Iranian actors on both Facebook and Instagram, part of a new effort to secure the platforms from foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election.
The networks comprised pages and groups on Facebook and Instagram that were “engaging in inauthentic behavior” regarding elections. They were targeting the U.S., North Africa and Latin America. Three of the networks were Iranian, while one was Russian.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, told reporters that the Russian network had the “hallmarks of a well-resourced operation” with potential links to the Russian Internet Research Agency, a group that carried out interference campaigns during the 2016 U.S. elections.
Facebook emphasized in its announcement that the accounts were taken down “based on their behavior, not the content they posted.”
As part of the crackdown, Facebook is updating its “inauthentic behavior policy” to improve its ability to identify “bad actors,” including taking down accounts that are working together to spread disinformation, along with other major changes.
In a press call on Monday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg detailed the company's work to prevent disinformation and voter suppression in 2020.

It is good to know that no one from China would ever interfere with our domestic affairs. /s
Meanwhile the Democrat’s gang of election thieves are printing blank absentee ballots to be used in local precincts:

I certainly won't be surprised. I've been predicting it. Click my screen name.
Facebook’s version of THE MINORITY REPORT.
Continuing THE BIG LIE.
They’ll just change their names like Acorn did.
But they leave up the communist Chinese wumao accounts.
Oh noes! How am I going to know who to vote for without any Russian propaganda on Facebook?
