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. https://medium.com/dfrlab/facebook-shut-down-commercial-disinformation-network-based-in-myanmar-and-vietnam-d8c07c518c04 4/15
