Facebook removes hundreds of Georgian-based political pages for "inauthentic behaviour"
Facebook has removed over 500 pages, more than 100 accounts as well as groups and Instagram profiles engaged in "coordinated inauthentic behaviour" via sharing misinformation about Georgia's domestic politics and the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the latest round of removals and bans by the social network, accounts and pages run by two organisations based in Georgia were affected, the latest CIB report from the company said.
Facebook reported the misinformation efforts in two sections, one detailing accounts, pages, groups and Instagram profiles run by Georgian-based media film Espersona, run by Koka Kandiashvili, a journalist who formerly worked as public relations consultant to the ruling party.
In total the network banned 511 pages, 101 accounts, 122 groups and 56 Instagram accounts run by the firm and most recently engaged in "harmful health misinformation" about COVID-19.
