According to reports from foreign media, in a latest Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour (CIB) report of Facebook, the social media application has deleted 40 Facebook accounts, 25 Pages, 6 Groups, and 28 Instagram accounts that belonged to residents of Pakistan.
“Although the people behind it attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to individuals associated with AlphaPro, a Pakistan-based PR firm,” the California-based social media platform said in a media talk earlier this week.
“Key narratives advanced by the network included: praise for Pakistan and its armed forces; efforts to denigrate India and highlight attacks by Hindu nationalists targeting religious minorities; support for Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan; and promotion of the government-backed China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) investment project.” Mentioned a Graphika report
Facebook has recognized and deleted the complex of these fake sources. The stated accounts and pages are the major bodies identified in the process. The authorized ‘CJ post’ Facebook page was made in January 2016, labeling itself as a “classified journal”. The linked website – cjpost.co.uk, made in February 2019, has a total of six articles about these matters like human rights abuses concerning religious sectors in India, Kashmir freedom and exploitations its people have agonized by the Indian army, and suspected political tensions between India and US.
