Back to Newsroom Meta Removing Myanmar Military Officials From Facebook August 28, 2018 Update added on December 18, 2018 at 5:00PM PT to include additional takedowns: Taking Down More Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior in Myanmar Today, we removed 425 Facebook Pages, 17 Facebook Groups, 135 Facebook accounts and 15 Instagram accounts in Myanmar for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook. As part of our ongoing investigations into this type of behavior in Myanmar, we discovered that these seemingly independent news, entertainment, beauty and lifestyle Pages were linked to the Myanmar military, and to the Pages we removed for coordinated inauthentic behavior in Myanmar in August. This kind of behavior is not allowed on Facebook under our misrepresentation policy because we don’t want people or organizations creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they are, or what they’re doing. • Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 425 Facebook Pages, 17 Facebook Groups, 135 Facebook accounts and 15 Instagram accounts. • Followers:
