04 We removed 50 Facebook accounts, 49 Pages, four Groups, eight Events and 19 Instagram accounts for violating our policy against​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This activity originated in the country of Georgia and targeted domestic audiences in Georgia. This network used fake accounts to post and comment on their own content to make it appear more popular than it was, and manage Pages, some of which posed as independent from one another. Some of these Pages went through significant admin changes and appeared to have been purchased. This network focused primarily on amplifying and engaging with Alt-Info’s Page and its content, and commenting on local news media Pages. This network posted primarily in Georgian about news and current events in the country including EU and Russian politics, Georgian parliamentary election in 2020, political figures, criticism of local media and liberal politicians such as representatives of European Georgia party, immigrants, minorities and LGBTQ communities. Some of this activity included posting hate speech and information rated false by independent fact-checkers in Georgia. We found this network as part of our investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in the region. Our assessment benefited from public reporting by International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED), a non-profit in Georgia. Although the people behind this activity attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation found links to Alt-Info, a media entity in Georgia. Alt-Info is now banned from Facebook. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 5 ​ 0 Facebook accounts, 49 Pages, 4 Groups, 8 Events and 19 accounts on Instagram. ● Followers: A ​ bout 328,000 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, about 13,000 accounts joined at least one of these Groups and around 1,600 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts.
