'The people behind this activity claim to be hacktivists that relied primarily on authentic and duplicate accounts to host and amplify content about distributed denial of service or DDoS attacks,' Meta says.

The “coordinated violative network” had worked together “to systematically violate multiple policies on our platforms against coordinated harm, bullying or harassment, hate speech, misinformation, and incitement to violence.”

As with Facebook’s policy on coordinated inauthentic behavior, Agravonich emphasized that when they do these investigations on potentially harmful coordinated networks, they focus on the behaviors of the accounts in the network, and not the content. The accounts in the network were found to have been engaging in other violations of Facebook policies, including coordinating harassment, bullying, and misinformation and disinformation that could lead to harm off the platform, and violations of the platform’s cybersecurity policies against DDoS attacks.
