CONTINUOUS ENFORCEMENT
We monitor for efforts to re-establish a presence on Facebook by networks we previously
removed. Using both automated and manual detection, we continuously remove accounts and
Pages connected to networks we took down in the past.
SUMMARY OF OCTOBER 2020 FINDINGS
Our teams continue to focus on finding and removing deceptive campaigns around the world
— whether they are foreign or domestic. In October, we removed 14 networks of accounts,
Pages and Groups. Eight of them — from Georgia, Myanmar, Ukraine and Azerbaijan —
targeted domestic audiences in their own countries, and six networks — from Iran, Egypt, the
US and Mexico — focused on people outside of their countries. We have shared information
about our findings with law enforcement, policymakers and industry partners.
We are making progress rooting out this abuse, but as we’ve said before, it’s an ongoing effort.
We’re committed to continually improving to stay ahead. That means building better
technology, hiring more people and working closely with law enforcement, security experts and
other companies.
