“The accounts organized their content around common hashtags promoting the cause, though they at times misspelled them”, “The accounts also posted about football and UK cities, likely to make the fictitious personas seem more authentic,” said the reports. Ben Nimmom, an official in Meta said, “We’ve seen a range of operations coming from Iran over the last few years”. A statement by Meta also reviled, “The network used fake accounts to pose as locals in England and Scotland, posting photos and memes about current events and criticism of the United Kingdom’s government”.

In a related case in December, Meta closed eight Facebook and 126 Instagram accounts for violating the company’s rules,
