Facebook has quietly removed three bogus far-right networks in Spain ahead of Sunday's elections

Facebook has quietly removed three far-right networks that were engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior intended to spread politically divisive content in Spain ahead of a general election in the country, which takes place on Sunday. The networks had a total reach of almost 1.7 million followers and had generated close to 7.4 million interactions in the past three months alone, according to analysis by the independent group that identified the bogus activity on Facebook's platform. The fake far-right activity was apparently not picked up by Facebook.
