06 We removed 36 Facebook accounts, six Pages, two Groups and one Instagram account for violating our policy against​ ​coordinated inauthentic behavior​. This activity originated in Myanmar and targeted domestic audiences in Myanmar. This network was caught early in its operation, before it was able to build its audience. The people behind this activity offered to pay others in return for engaging with their posts. They used fake accounts — some of which had already been detected and disabled by our automated systems — to create fictitious personas, post in Groups and manage Pages. Some of these Pages focused on promoting the Union Solidarity and Development Party, while others criticized the National League for Democracy. They posted primarily in Burmese about news and current events including this week’s general elections in Myanmar. We found this network as part of our investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in the region ahead of the November election in Myanmar. Although the people behind this activity attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation found links to Openmind, a PR agency in Myanmar. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 3 ​ 6 Facebook accounts, 6 Pages, 2 Groups and one account on Instagram. ● Followers: A ​ bout 12,000 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, about 270 accounts joined at least one of these Groups and around 15 people followed this Instagram account. ● Advertising: L ​ ess than $76,000 in spending for ads on Facebook and Instagram paid for in US dollars and also in Indonesian rupiah.
