​Facebook has removed a network of Instagram accounts run by a St. Petersburg “troll farm” that tried to create favorable online perception and support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a report by the social media giant cited by the Kyiv Independent.
The “troll farm” operated out of an office building in St. Petersburg that previously housed job ads for “spammers, commentators, content analysts, designers and programmers” focused on social media platforms YouTube, Telegram and TikTok.
The targeted accounts were politicians, journalists, actors, celebrities and brands from around the world who expressed their support for Ukraine.
45 Facebook accounts and 1,037 Instagram accounts were deleted, and the report found that about $1,400 was spent on advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
