The activity originated in Iran and Russia, Facebook said. Unlike past influence operations on the social network, which largely targeted Americans, the fake accounts, pages and groups were this time also aimed at people in Latin America, Britain and the Middle East, the company said.
Some of the activity was still focused on Americans, but the campaigns were not specifically intended to disrupt the midterm elections in the United States, said FireEye, a cybersecurity firm that worked with Facebook on investigating the fake pages and accounts. The operations “extend well beyond U.S. audiences and U.S. politics,” FireEye said in a preliminary report.

Date: August 21st, 2018 11:03 PM Author: Iridescent Filthy Voyeur School facebook's slow and gradual meltdown is a great reminder of why you should never publicly admit that you're wrong if you're not wrong. they should have just maintained that it's not their responsibility to police the veracity of facebook content. this is common sense and every normal, non-insane person would have accepted it and come to terms with it. facebook would have had to deal with some temporary bad press for a while, and then they would have been fine
once they indicated that they were going to take responsibility for micromanaging the veracity and "social impact" of facebook content, it was already all over. there's no going back from here. they've admitted guilt for something they don't even truly have control over, and now they're stuck. these guys dug their own grave, and they deserve to be buried in it |
