Meta removed over 130 Iran state backed malicious accounts
Earlier this week, news broke that Meta had deleted eight Facebook accounts and more than 126 Instagram accounts originating in Iran last month. These malicious accounts are believed to be an attempt to spread misinformation and anger across Scotland, a British country seeking independence from Britain, as well as an escalation of anger over current corruption surrounding British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Scottish Independence and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
This network was apparently easy to identify from accounts, as it promoted #popular hashtags that supported Independence and Boris Johnson scandals, but these were often misspelled and simple to spot. They also tried to follow local football teams in UK to create accounts. To look more realistic they also create profile images through artificial intelligence techniques or British or Iraqi celebrities. Meta said in a statement that people who run these accounts appear to have a history of teaching English and may have been part of a similar plan in December 2020.
This corrupt regime can not stop interfering in affairs of other countries, although there are many problems inside Iran itself !! 😡😡
