San Francisco Facebook has removed hundreds of fake Facebook and Instagram pages, groups, and accounts that it says were run by an Israeli firm that was targeting countries in Africa.

The Israeli company Archimedes Group spent more than $800,000 running Facebook ads and their accounts had almost 3 million followers, Facebook said in a blog post announcing the removals Thursday. Archimedes Group used fake accounts and"represented themselves as locals, including local news organizations, and published allegedly leaked information about politicians," Facebook said.

Thanks God we don't have any politicians left in America criticizing Israel. Total obeidience is at hand.

FB targeted every election since its inception. FB lies to the people everyday.

National security?

All countries do it. CNN is fake news.

Israel can't even run their own. Never mind that of Africa.

They have been targeting American elections for decades through APAC. The issue is that whatever Israel does is seen as righteous, even violating human rights.

That was random. A deflection. Trust nothing from Facebook.

Israeli intelligence and counter intelligence is at least as good as any on the planet - and they are a malevolent force.

Of course they did, we as black people believe anything we see on Facebook especially if the source is another black person or site

So Israel is the new Russia? hmmm 🤔

They needn't have bothered. The real show happens offline with bullion vans and unemployed folk.
