The network of 13 Facebook accounts and two pages posing as journalists and targeting left-wing progressives was removed for violating a policy against "foreign interference" at the platform. The network was in the early stages of building an audience, with little engagement from users, Facebook said. The Facebook pages were said to be crafted to drive viewers to websites of the social network, and their operators were working diligently to get approval to run targeted ads. The operation had a presence on Twitter and LinkedIn as well as on Facebook, according the social network analysis specialist. The website began publishing in December, and the Facebook accounts were set up in May, according to Graphika.
