JERUSALEM (AP) — Facebook says it has identified a private Israel-based influence campaign aimed at disrupting elections in various countries and has canceled dozens of accounts that engaged in spreading disinformation.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, told reporters Thursday the tech giant had purged 65 accounts, 161 pages and dozens of groups.
He says they primarily posed as political candidates and peddled fake news about elections, mostly in Sub-Saharan African countries, and with some scattered activity in Southeast Asia. The pages racked up 2.8 million followers and hundreds of thousands of views.

Laughable ... and Ironic given Obama’s interference in Israel’s elections.
Look at Obama....he went to the UK and told the Brits NOT to vote for Brexit. No one said boo.
These same people have the same view of OUR elections.
Face it:
We’re OCCUPIED.
Typical leftist Democrat inspired propaganda
I’m beginning to think these break ups of groups, etc. are all FAKE!
I have an FB account and I never pay attention to a lot of articles nor do I make decisions based on what I do see on FB.
And yet, when Clinton/Obama political operatives went to Israel and Britain to help Leftists win, it was the best idea ever to these global level destroyers.
Watch this hand...
Only Fascistbook is allowed to disrupt elections.
The Glob? Really?
Does he really want to piss off the Mosad?
Facebook says.....
I don’t believe it.

Oh, my! You must have the affliction of independent thinking. This won’t do! I had it, too, back when grammar was in vogue. Back then there was rational thinking along with Oxford commas. /s :-)
You are spot on. It is probably a media stunt like most things on all sides are these days. Thanks for a good laugh of truth.
Why are such offensive photos allowed on FR?
You’re welcome!!!! Anytime...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

IOW, calling these "Israel-based" is from the same types of lying mouths who call Israel "occupied territory".
sub-sahara? isn’t that Congo, Zaire, and other when-will-they-ever-stop-freaking-killing-each-other countries? Was the private enterprise promoting the bad guys or the other bad guys?
