Social network says tool will let users see if they have liked or followed accounts created by organisation that carries out misinformation operations
Facebook has promised to tell users whether they liked or followed a member of Russia's notorious "troll army", accused of trying to influence elections in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The social network says it will create a tool allowing users to see whether they interacted with a Facebook page or Instagram account created by the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a state-backed organisation based in St Petersburg that carries out online misinformation operations.
