Heads up on this unreleased report that Yahoo News got advanced access to... there's no way to confirm where an administrator is located (not via OSINT data and not via CrowdTangle) and there's quite a huge caveat that their methods of ID'ing admins are not “an exact science”
This claim also seems 1. wrong 2. impossible to confirm or falsify and 3. extremely irresponsible to put in any report

I hesitate to even link to the article. A former State Department official is one of the authors of the (currently unreleased) report from the Soufan Center.
Analysis was done by a *for-profit* agency called Limbik that uses proprietary tools/methods limbik.com/about.html

They're "a full-service Data Studio" doing what they call "Content Science' to "create, develop and distribute video content." (sounds like digital marketing IDK)
Oh the report has since been released - it's 45 pages
"not an exact science" 🙄 news outlets need to really interrogate this methodology before repeating any claims made in this report
Wow hello @ZcohenCNN please see above thread for serious issues in methodology of the report you just published about. Also, in what universe is 1/5 of any activity a majority?

I've got admin assist rules set up that should automatically bounce accounts like this from joining a Facebook group I admin, but I've had a bunch of them get in somehow in the past week.
Obvious GANs, fake ladies from New York. IDK what's going on yet but something changed.
I still don't understand what's up with all these fake pages in various FB groups.

It seems I’ve upset some feelings by pointing out that the Centro Cultural Kyle Rittenhouse in La Plata has a portrait of Javier Milei on the walls. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Quite a few bilingual men are Very Upset that I pointed out that portrait. I didn’t say anything else about Milei and they’re all up in my mentions. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Behold the Facebook page for the Centro Cultural Kyle Rittenhouse, a real place in La Plata, Argentina. The "Kyle Rittenhouse Cultural Center" got raided today and its far-right extremist owner, José Derman, has been detained. infobae.com/politica/2022/… 1/
José Derman uploaded an 11 min video to YouTube celebrating the attempted assassination of @CFKArgentina, calling people to take up arms to “uproot Marxism” and a bunch of other unhinged, violent ramblings. He's being charged with public intimidation. 2/
During the raid, counterterrorism police seized a *live 83mm mortar shell* that was in the Kyle Rittenhouse Cultural Center (because of course) along with a drone, 3 computers, phones and a few other devices. 3/

Horrible (and confusing) mass casualty event happened tonight in NEPA. Lots of unconfirmed info circulating on social media 😔
There was a tragic house fire last weekend in Nescopeck, PA that was ruled arson. 10 people died including 3 kids, multiple generations of the same family. Tonight, someone drove a car into a crowd of people at the fundraiser for that fire 😔 cbsnews.com/philadelphia/n…
The location of the fundraiser is called “The Intoxicology Department bar” in Berwick, PA and another event happened which appears related involving a hammer attack. 😬
