Facebook Bans Roger Stone for ‘Coordinated Inauthentic Activity’

associate who faces prison time after being convicted of seven felonies, off Facebook and Instagram. The company said it had found evidence that Stone was behind a network of fake accounts in the U.S. designed make themselves appear “more popular than they were.”

“We’ve seen and taken action against domestic political figures using [coordinated inauthentic behavior] in the past, and we know they will continue to attempt to deceive and mislead people,” Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of security policy, wrote in a blog post announcing Stone’s ban. The social-media giant also is in the midst of a 900-plus advertiser boycott, under the #StopHateForProfit campaign demanding Facebook take action against hate speech and discrimination.. “This extraordinary active censorship for which Facebook and Instagram give entirely fabricated reasons is part of a larger effort to censor supporters of the president, Republicans and conservatives on social media platforms,” Stone said.

Participants in the network posed as residents of Florida to “post and comment on their own content to make it appear more popular than it is, evade enforcement, and manage Pages,” according to Facebook’s Gleicher.

I mean, he is over the age of 55 so he must be REALLY upset about this.

Coordinated inauthentic behavior

Facebook should be doing the same to realDonaldTrump
