"Facebook's blog post in question was in reference to a project for Turning Point Action, a 501c4 and an entirely separate entity. The mistake has been flagged with Facebook's communication team," the statement read. "Turning Point Action works hard to operate within social platforms' TOS on all of its projects and communications and we hope to work closely with Facebook to rectify any misunderstanding.

In its report, Facebook described how, beginning in 2018, fake accounts using stock profile pictures posed mostly as right-leaning people based in the US and commented on articles posted by high-profile individuals or news agencies.
