Facebook Uncovers Political Influence Campaign

Facebook announced “that it has identified a coordinated political influence campaign, with dozens of inauthentic accounts and pages that are believed to be engaging in political activity ahead of November’s midterm elections,” the New York Times reports.

“It has been unable to tie the accounts to Russia, whose Internet Research Agency was at the center of an indictment earlier this year for interfering in the 2016 election, but company officials told Capitol Hill that Russia was possibly involved.”

Facebook put out a statement explaining what they found.
