05 We removed 54 Facebook accounts, 14 Pages, two Groups and 21 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 was still early in its audience building when we removed it. The people behind it used fake accounts — some of which have gone through significant name changes — to create fictitious personas, comment on other people’s content, post in Groups and manage Pages. Some of these Pages posed as news entities. This network posted primarily in Georgian about news and politics in Georgia, including the parliamentary elections in October 2020, memes and other content about Russia-Georgia relations, supportive commentary about Alliance of Patriots and Georgian Choice parties, and criticism of their political opponents and Georgia-NATO relations. The network also posted content that was rated false by local fact-checkers. The inauthentic engagement activity appeared to begin in December 2019 focusing on one party (Alliance of Patriots), and then in May 2020 shifted to focus on another (Georgian Choice). We found this network after reviewing information about some of its activity publicly reported 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 two political parties in Georgia — Alliance of Patriots and Georgian Choice. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram: 5 ​ 4 accounts, 14 Pages, 2 Groups and 21 accounts on Instagram. ● Followers: A ​ bout 15,600 accounts followed one or more of these Pages, about 21,500 accounts joined at least one of these Groups and around 5,500 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts.
