08:04 AM EDT, 10/11/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Meta Platforms Inc ( META ) said Friday it removed a network of fake accounts targeting Russian-speakers in Moldova for violating its coordinated inauthentic behavior policy.

The activity centered around fictitious, Russian-language news brands with presence on multiple internet services, the company said.

The fake accounts posted criticism of President Sandu, pro-EU politicians, and close ties between Moldova and Romania, and supported pro-Russia parties in Moldova, according to Meta.

The company said it removed seven Facebook accounts, 23 pages, one group and 20 accounts on Instagram for violating its policy.
