Facebook has today removed 559 Pages and 251 accounts for engaging in political spam and disinformation. Today’s move is a part of the social network’s efforts to prevent the platform from being used to spread misinformation ahead of the coming election. The company is calling it “coordinated inauthentic behavior” that misleads others.

“People need to be able to trust the connections they make on Facebook,” the company wrote. “It’s why we have a policy banning coordinated inauthentic behavior – networks of accounts or Pages working to mislead others about who they are, and what they are doing.”
