Earlier today, Facebook announced the banning of 32 political pages and accounts suspected of “co-ordinated inauthentic behavior” linked to foreign agents.
1. The pages were left-wing
2. The pages boosted #AbolishICE
3. There’s insufficient evidence to prove Russia is responsible (yet)
4. Facebook thanked a globalist think tank for helping them identify “bad actors”
5. Facebook spoke to the government, politicians, and other social media companies before taking actions
6. The crackdown hasn’t improved Facebook’s position in the stock market
The pages identified as “inauthentic” were all of the far left. They included pages such as “Resisters,” “Black Elevation,” and “Aztlan Warriors.” The pages repeated progressive talking points and set up real-world events aimed at rallying genuine left-wing activists. One event, aimed at challenging the now-canceled “Unite The Right 2” rally, attracted 2,600 signups before it was shut down.
This is consistent with Russian propaganda on Facebook during the 2016 election, which included both pro-Trump and anti-Trump activity. (Democrats continue to dishonestly claim that Russian social media propaganda exclusively helped Trump.)
