Two-thirds of the 200-plus networks that Meta stopped focused on domestic audiences in the countries where the CIB network originated, according to the company's newest threat report, released on Thursday.
Meta's report states that more than 100 countries have been targeted by at least one CIB network since 2017. The most frequent target was the U.S. -- by 34 networks -- followed by Ukraine, which was targeted by 20 networks.Most of the CIB networks originated in three countries, according to the Meta report: Russia, home to 34 of them, which included Meta's first and 200th takedown; Iran, which had 29; and 13 in Mexico.
Among the threats Meta found on its platforms were surveillance-for-hire or commercial spyware vendors -- threat actors who provide powerful surveillance capabilities to a client.These vendors have been based in Russia, Israel, India, China and the U.S. and targeted people in 200 countries, including journalists, political opposition figures and human rights activists.

They also threw the 2020 election for the Dems. Lots of money & effort to hide reality & push lies. Stay off Facebook until they are sued into changing. Don’t support oppression.
