Facebook and Internet Research Agency (1)

1 Name: Exile : 2017-11-23 13:38 ID:ZrakWva6 [Del]

"Facebook plans to let people see if they had "liked" pages created by "foreign actors" to spread propaganda during the US presidential election."

Over the past two years, the Internet Research Agency is made by a Russian company that posted thousands of politically-charged messages, engaging in online influence operations on behalf of the Russian government. It also attempts to influence the 2016 United States presidential election to support the candidacy of Donald Trump.

Facebook is releasing a tool in December, near at the end of the year. It is a tool to let people see which Internet Research Agency-linked Facebook pages or Instagram accounts they liked or followed between January 2015 and August 2017.
