07 We removed 511 Pages, 101 Facebook accounts, and 122 Groups and 56 Instagram accounts for violating our policy against​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This domestic-focused activity originated in Georgia. The individuals behind this activity used fake accounts — some of which had been previously detected and disabled by our automated systems — to create fictitious personas, impersonate opposition leaders and local health officials, manage Groups and Pages, and make their content appear more popular that it is. Some of these Groups went through name and admin changes over time and appear to have been purchased. The people behind this network also ran Pages designed to look like user profiles — using false names and stock profile images — to post and amplify their content, as well as to avoid detection and removal. Some of these Pages posed as independent news outlets. The Page admins and account owners typically posted about domestic news and political issues such as elections, government policies and officials, as well as criticism of the opposition, journalists and local activists. Most recently, this network shared some content about COVID-19, including posts which was removed for violating our policies against harmful health misinformation. Although the people behind this operation attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation linked them to Espersona, a media firm in Georgia. This organization is now banned from our platforms. We found this activity as part of our investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior publicly reported by a local fact-checking organization in Georgia with some links to the network we took down in​ ​December 2019​. ● Presence on Facebook:​ 511 Pages, 101 Facebook accounts, and 122 Groups and 56 Instagram accounts ● Followers: ​About 973,000 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, around 1,508, 000 accounts followed one or more of these Groups, and about 26,000 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts. ● Advertising:​ Around $30,000 in spending for ads on Facebook paid for in US dollars.
