THE PREMISE WAS UNBELIEVABLE:

Facebook removes troll farm posing as African-American support for Donald Trump (Ben Collins and Kevin Collier, 8/06/20, NBC News)

Facebook removed hundreds of accounts on Thursday from a foreign troll farm posing as African-Americans in support of Donald Trump and QAnon supporters. It also removed hundreds of fake accounts linked to conservative media outlet The Epoch Times that pushed pro-Trump conspiracy theories about coronavirus and protests in the U.S.

Facebook took down the accounts as part of its enforcement against coordinated inauthentic behavior, which is the use of fake accounts to inflate the reach of content or products on social media.

There are too few to form a group.
