Zuckerberg's Company Exposed Belarusian KGB Workers Who Were Trying To Turn Migrants Against Poland

Their Facebook accounts have been deleted.

The company called Meta (formerly Facebook) announced on December 1 that it had evidence that the Belarusian KGB "used fake accounts to impersonate journalists and activists to stir up tensions over the crisis on the border between Belarus and Poland."

The report said that in November, the company deleted 41 Facebook accounts, five groups and four Instagram accounts in Belarus "that were primarily targeted at the audience in the Middle East and Europe."

"These fictional identities posted critical comments about Poland in English, Polish and Kurdish, including photos and videos of Polish border guards allegedly violating migrants' rights," Meta said.

In addition, the company said that in order to be convincing, some of the accounts were likely to have used profile images of fake faces created using artificial intelligence, so-called "dipfake" technology.
