01 We removed 77 Accounts, 72 Pages, 18 Groups and 18 Instagram accounts for violating our policy against ​government interference​ which is​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​ on behalf of a government entity. This network originated in Thailand and targeted domestic audiences in the Southern provinces of Thailand. The people behind this network used both authentic and fake accounts — some of which had already been detected and disabled by our automated systems — to manage Groups and Pages, including overt military Pages and Pages that weren’t openly affiliated with the Thai military. They also posted their content on multiple Pages to make it appear more popular than it was. Some of these fake accounts posed as individuals from Southern provinces of Thailand and also as young women, using stock photos as profile images. The majority of Page posting appeared to have occurred in 2020. This network posted primarily in Thai about news and current events including content in support of the Thai military and the monarchy, calls for non-violence, regional COVID-19 updates, alleged violence by the insurgent groups in Southern Thailand, and criticism of separatist and independence movements. We found this network as part of our internal investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in the region. Although the people behind it attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to the Thai Military’s Internal Security Operations Command​. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram:​ 77 Facebook accounts, 72 Pages, 18 Groups and 18 accounts on Instagram. ● Followers: A ​ bout 703,000 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, about 100,000 accounts joined at least one of these Groups and around 2,500 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts.
