Facebook Inc. said Thursday it banned an Israeli company that ran an influence campaign aimed at disrupting elections in various countries and has canceled dozens of accounts engaged in spreading disinformation.
But he said Facebook discovered “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” with accounts posing as certain political candidates, smearing opponents and presenting as local news organizations peddling supposedly leaked information. Gleicher said that Archimedes had spent some $800,000 on fake ads and that its deceptive activity dated back to 2012. He said Facebook has banned Archimedes.
On its website, Archimedes presents itself as a consulting firm involved in campaigns for presidential elections.

So no doubt they’ll be calls to boycott Israel and we can compare Israel to Russia in trying to mess with people’s democracy. Oh no you say. The us is Israel’s bitch and won’t say shit. Seems legit.
Thanks for your endorsement of our social media overlords.
