Facebook has removed a social media network in the Philippines for “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” and took the unusual step of linking it to a businessman who said he had managed the president’s online election campaign in 2016.

Facebook said its investigation found that the online activity was linked to a network organized by a former chief executive of Omnicom Media Group Philippines, who it identified as Nic Gabunada, and said it had removed 200 pages of groups and accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
