Facebook removes hundreds of Russian fake accounts

The social networking site said the pages had been removed from both Facebook and Instagram, the photo-heavy platform it owns.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook's cybersecurity policy chief, wrote in a blog post that the social media site did not detect any links between the two operations but said they shared similar tactics, including the creation of accounts and networks designed to conceal their true origins and activities.
In all, 364 Facebook Russia-origin pages and accounts were removed, which had operated in the Baltics, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Central and Eastern European countries.
