The report released by the company shows that during the last month of October, 14 such networks were removed, six of which came from computers in Iran, Egypt, the United States and Mexico, which focused on groups of people outside their country. As for the accounts removed from Iran, the report states that 12 accounts and two pages were removed from Facebook and 307 accounts on Instagram. All of these accounts are associated with the Information Technology Organization in Tehran, whose main activity is directed at Israel.
This network of accounts was made up of fake accounts, most of which were created in close proximity but underwent sky changes over time. The network uploaded water, photos and other content in the Hebrew and Arabic languages, focusing on publications against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the protest against the black flags against him in the country. In these accounts, they sharply criticized Netanyahu’s policies, as well as his management of the corona crisis. Facebook claimed that although these account managers tried to hide their identities, their investigators were able to identify some of them, who were linked to the Iranian information technology organization.
