08 Finally we removed 23 Facebook accounts, 80 Pages, 41 Groups, and 9 Instagram accounts for engaging in​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This domestic-focused activity originated in Georgia. The individuals behind this activity used a combination of authentic and fake accounts to comment on content, evade detection and removal, and manage Groups and ​P​ages — some of which posed as news entities. They frequently posted about local news and political topics like the 2018 Georgian elections and candidates, Georgian Orthodox Church, criticism of the ruling party and the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Many of these ​P​ages have not been active since 2018. Although the people behind this campaign attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation linked this network to individuals associated with United National Movement, a political party in Georgia. We found this activity as part of our investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in the region. Our assessment benefited from local public reporting in Georgia. ● Presence on Facebook:​ 23 Facebook accounts, 80 ​P​ages, 41 Groups, and 9 Instagram accounts ● Followers: ​About 785,000 accounts followed one or more of these ​P​ages, around 6,300 accounts followed one or more of these Groups, and around 6,400 people followed one of more of these Instagram accounts ● ● Advertising:​ Around $23,800 in spending for ads on Facebook paid for primarily in US dollars Events:​ 22 events were hosted by these accounts and ​P​ages.
