We began our investigation after public reporting about some elements of this activity by the Washington Post. Although the people behind this network attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation linked this activity to Rally Forge, a US marketing firm, working on behalf of Turning Point USA and Inclusive Conservation Group. Rally Forge is now banned from Facebook. We are continuing to investigate all linked networks, and will take action as appropriate if we determine they are engaged in deceptive behavior. We found this network as part of our proactive investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior ahead of the upcoming election in the region. ● Presence on Facebook and Instagram:​ 202 Facebook accounts, 54​ ​Pages and 76 Instagram accounts. ● Followers: A ​ bout 372,500 accounts followed one or more of these Pages and around 20,500 people followed one or more of these Instagram accounts. ● Advertising:​ Around $1.15 million in spending for ads on Facebook and Instagram paid for in US dollars.
