Facebook shut down commercial disinformation network based in Myanmar and Vietnam | by @DFRLab | DFRLab | Medium
The assets
The network consisted of six assets posing as neutral special interest pages with a focus
on mobile technology and lifehacks. None of the pages disclosed any affiliation with
MyTel.
Early posts on the pages in the network consisted of neutral, upbeat content, such as this post on childhood
memories (left) and lifehack videos (center and right). (Source: Facebook )
Some of the pages started out on a very patriotic and nationalist tone, possibly to
garner support for the fledgling pages shortly after their creation. Gradually, the pages
shifted to content promoting the MyTel brand.
