05 We​ removed 11 ​P​ages, 75 Facebook accounts, and 90 Instagram accounts for engaging in​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This network originated in Mauritania and focused largely on domestic audiences. The people behind this network used a combination of authentic, compromised and fake accounts — some of which had gone through name changes and already been disabled by our automated systems — to amplify their own content, manage Pages and post in Groups. The majority of engagement on these Pages was generated by this network itself. They posted primarily in Arabic and some in English and French about domestic and regional news and topics including the civil wars in Libya and Yemen, criticism of Qatar, Turkey and Iran, Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers, as well as support for the president of Mauritania and the United Arab Emirates. Most recently, this network also posted about COVID-19 and various countries’ response to the pandemic. We detected this operation as a result of our internal investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior linked to the activity we had removed in​ ​August 2019​ and​ ​March 2020​. ● ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram:​ 11 Pages, 75 accounts, and 90 Instagram accounts Followers: ​About 62,500 accounts followed one or more of these Pages and less than 25,000 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts ● Advertising:​ Less than $190 in spending for ads on Facebook and Instagram paid for in US dollars.
