Meta has taken action against a Chinese spam network known as Spamouflage, closing roughly 9,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts, groups, and pages. The company began its investigation in 2019 and collaborated with research groups such as the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. As a result, Meta took down 7,704 Facebook accounts, 954 pages, 15 groups, and 15 Instagram accounts for violating its inauthentic behavior policy.
