The effort targeted people in the Middle East, Latin America, UK and US, Facebook said, and centered on a network called the Liberty Front Press, which claimed to be an independent Iranian media organization but was actually affiliated with Iranian state media. > "These were networks of accounts that were misleading people about who they were and what they were doing," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a conference call with reporters Tuesday afternoon.
