iammo: Punch is telling lies and quoting nonsense....Here is the reaction from the Presidency PUNCH IS NOW A PUNK NEWSPAPER. HERE IS THE AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT OF FAKE ACCOUNTS CLOSED BY FACEBOOK AS REPORTED ACROSS THE WORLD. NOTHING TO DO WITH PRESIDENT BUHARI. I shall be reporting Punch to the appropriate Media authorities unless PUNCH pulls down it's lies and apologise to Nigerians for disrespecting them with their lies, and to Pres. Buhari, for fabricating lies against him. How did Punch Newspaper fall from our favourite paper for nation building, to this conspiracy to destabilise our nation? ✅Here's how the world reported it: Facebook has removed hundreds of social media accounts and banned an Israeli firm due to "co-ordinated inauthentic behaviour" mainly targeting Africa. The fake accounts often posted on political news, including on elections in various countries, the firm said. Facebook has faced rising criticism for failing to stamp out misinformation on its platform. It launched a fact-checking programme in 2016 shortly after Donald Trump became US president. In a blog post, Facebook said it had removed 265 social media accounts that originated in Israel and focused on Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, Angola, Niger and Tunisia, along with "some activity" in Latin America and South East Asia. "The people behind this network used fake accounts to run pages, disseminate their content and artificially increase engagement. "They also represented themselves as locals, including local news organisations, and published allegedly leaked information about politicians," Nathaniel Gleicher, head of cybersecurity policy at Facebook, wrote in the post. An investigation found that some of the activity was linked to Israeli company Archimedes Group, Mr Gleicher said. "This organisation and all its subsidiaries are now banned from Facebook, and it has been issued a cease and desist letter," he said. The people behind the phantom accounts spent around $812,000 (£634,941) for ads between December 2012 and April 2019, Facebook said, and these were paid for in Brazilian reais, Israeli shekel and US dollars. Five of the six African countries targeted have had elections since 2016, and Tunisia will hold national polls later this year. Facebook has faced increasing criticism for failing to eradicate misinformation that could affect the way people vote in elections. �HERE IS HOW FACEBOOK ANNOUNCED THE CLOSURE: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/05/removing-coordinated-inauthentic-behavior-from-israel/ �HERE'S HOW PUNCH REPORTED IT. ❎https://punchng.com/facebook-closes-pro-buhari-accounts-used-against-atikus-campaign/ �HERE ARE SOME OF THE REPORTS ACROSS THE WORLD. ✅ https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48305032 ✅https://www.timesofisrael.com/facebook-takes-down-network-of-fake-accounts-pages-linked-to-israeli-firm/ ✅https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/16/facebook-shuts-down-israel-based-disinformation-campaigns-election-manipulation-increasingly-goes-global/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.031e4a4607b4 GOD DELIVER NIGERIA FROM DESTABILISING MEDIA THAT IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DESPERATE OPPOSITION.

izzou: Its either you're are not capable of reasoning or its how you were wired. However, no need responding both your blabbing and insult. None of them is a saint and the only used party here is the masses and the only side that suffer is you and your gullible lot. Both Atiku and Buhari are wealthy, of same origin, religion and beliefs. Both commit same sin and we should condemn each wrongdoing regardless of whose ox is gored. You, you don't have a side, an ideology, a belief, a motive or even a brain to decipher what's right or wrong. 1 Like 2 Shares |
