Facebook told reporters that the network, which it removed from Facebook and Instagram for engaging in foreign interference, was in the early stages of building audiences and was operated by local nationals, some wittingly and some unwittingly, on behalf of individuals in Russia.

Facebook said its investigation found links to an NGO in Ghana called EBLA, or “Eliminating Barriers to the Liberation of Africa,” and individuals associated with past activity by Russia’s Internet Research Agency (IRA), a St Petersburg-based “troll factory” that U.S. intelligence officials say aimed to interfere in the U.S. presidential election in 2016.

The accounts in the new takedown managed Facebook pages posing as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or personal blogs, or posting in Facebook groups. They focused on topics such as black history, black excellence and fashion, celebrity gossip, U.S. news and LGBTQ issues. They also shared negative content about oppression and police brutality.

A CNN investigation found that accounts in Ghana and Nigeria claimed they belonged to people in the United States such as in Brooklyn or New Orleans. One account posed in a Facebook group as the cousin of an African American who died in police custody.

“This activity did not appear to focus on elections, or promote or denigrate political candidates,” Facebook said in a blog post.

Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, told reporters on a conference call that the network’s technique appeared “to be attempting to create an NGO that had real-world people working for it on the ground in Ghana as a way to build legitimacy for their narratives and use that to message out.”

EBLA’s website says it is “a network of strong advocates of human rights” and “employs the cyber activism approach.” CNN, which went to EBLA’s headquarters in Ghana, reported that Ghanaian security services had raided the EBLA compound in February. EBLA did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Twitter characterized the accounts, many of which were created in July 2019, as “attempting to sow discord by engaging in conversations about social issues, like race and civil rights.”

Social media companies are under pressure to police foreign and domestic misinformation on their platforms, particularly since U.S. intelligence officials said that Russia used social media platforms for an influence operation aimed at electing President Donald Trump - a claim that Moscow has denied.

Reuters reported that U.S. intelligence and security officials this week were scheduled to tell Congress that Russian social media efforts were currently more directed at stirring up social divides over issues like ethnic group rivalries and tensions between police and local communities, rather than promoting specific U.S. presidential candidates.

In a statement on Thursday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said, “The potential use of cutouts on another continent meant to mask Russian connections is a startling signal that our adversaries continue to pursue new and inventive ways to cover their tracks and evade detection.”

In this latest takedown, which was relatively small, the companies removed 49 Facebook accounts, 69 Facebook pages, 85 Instagram accounts, and 71 Twitter accounts.

2/ FB Pages/IG accounts: Over the past several days, we began demoting content from Facebook pages and Instagram accounts from Russian state-controlled media outlets, and we are making them harder to find across our platforms.

Ist es erlaubt 2 Facebook Accounts unter dem gleichen Namen zu führen. Also z.B. ich führe jetzt 2 Accounts, die beide unter den Namen Kevin Henry laufen. Also beide Accounts sind im Prinzip die gleiche Person. Darf man das oder wird dann später automatisch irgendwann einer gelöscht ? Würde mich nämlich gerne nochmal neu anmelden, den alten Account aber weiterhin manchmal nutzen können. Falls jemand einen Grund wissen möchte, wozu man 2 Accounts gleichzeitig braucht: Bei meinem alten Account bekomme ich viel zu viele Meldungen von allen Möglichen Anwendungen, Ereigenissen, Personen und Sachen die mir gefallen. Würde gerne nochmal einen neuen Account haben, wo ich dann keine Anwendungen und so viele andere Sachen habe und dort nur die engesten Freunde/Familie habe. Außerdem würde ich dann auf meinem Profil keine Nachrichten von irgenwelchen Anwendungen/Spielen finden sondern nur Sachen die ich hochlade und selber geschrieben habe.

Ich weiß man könnte das alles beim alten Account ändern und das einigermaßen alles so einstellen. Möchte aber nur sehr ungerne aus alle Gruppen austreten und Anwendungen beenden. Würde es wirklich bevorzugen einen 2 Account zu führen. Habe mir auch mal die Nutzungsbedingungen bei Facebook durchgelesen und dort steht folgender Punkt der mir zu denken gibt:

1. Du wirst nur ein persönliches Profil erstellen.

Was meint ihr ? Könnte ich einfach so 2 Konten unter den Namen Kevin Henry gleichzeitig führen? Meint ihr das ist erlaubt? Könnte es sogar sein das dann mein alter oder der neue Account gelöscht wird ?
