Facebook removed 30 pages, 33 accounts, and three groups, as well as 16 Instagram accounts, belonging to Iranians trying to sneakily influence U.S. and UK politics, the social media company announced Oct. 26.
“The Page administrators and account owners typically represented themselves as US citizens, or in a few cases UK citizens—and they posted about politically charged topics such as race relations, opposition to the [U.S.] President, and immigration,” Facebook stated in a release.
