Meta deletes Facebook accounts that pretend as authentic European news sources. These fake Facebook identities, according to the tech giant, are a part of an extensive network with Russian support. According to Facebook's parent corporation, the bogus profiles were formed to propagate a pro-Kremlin viewpoint on the social media platform's war between Russia and Ukraine. "Actually, eight words may capture everything it was saying: "Ukraine's horrible." Good Russia. Reverse the sanctions. Cut off the supply of weapons, "said Ben Nimmo, director of global threat intelligence at Meta.

In addition, Meta blocks Facebook Accounts from copying European News Sources Meta considers the most recent Facebook network with support from Russia to be the most extensive and complex FB operation it executed. In February, at the beginning of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, the enormous tech company even asserted that it was more significant than the organization connected to the Russian government. According to the reports, the most recent Facebook network with Kremlin ties comprises more than 60 fake websites that impersonate European news outlets.

The Daily Mail, The Guardian, and ANSA are just a few of the media publications they plagiarised (an Italian news agency). According to an official with Meta's global threat intelligence, the bogus Facebook accounts copied the news organizations' web addresses, designs, and even bylines. In addition to taking down a Chinese network that impersonates Americans, USA Today stated that Meta also took down the most recent Russian Facebook operation. According to the IT company, a Chinese operation imitates American Facebook accounts on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Meta stated that these phony Chinese-backed Facebook identities were made to stir up the controversy surrounding abortion, gun rights, and other related political concerns. Reports claimed this Chinese network had the same objectives as the Russian-backed network, spreading anti-American propaganda. Furthermore, Meta previously resolved a million-dollar fine over Facebook's location tracking controversy.
