Facebook removes fake accounts with links to China and Philippines

Facebook says accounts were interfering in politics of US and Philippines

Facebook says it has removed hundreds of coordinated fake accounts with links to individuals in China and in the Filipino military that were interfering in the politics of the Philippines and the US.

The company said all the accounts - in two distinct networks based in China and the Philippines - were removed for violating its policy against foreign or government interference, which it defines as coordinated inauthentic behaviour on behalf of a foreign or government entity".
