2020 had so much more in store than we were expecting. Our Lead Stories team has done an amazing volume of work- This thread is a review of some of the things I worked on- in no particular order... Would you like to ride along? Fake People make Real News
I started a new job and finished out 2019 with some analysis articles that really made some waves:

So there is more news from the @fbnewsroom that more inauthentic behavior has been recognized and pages and groups and profiles removed. Well here is one verified page that they missed.
facebook.com/rockindianrese… I’m honestly perplexed to find this one because @AlKapDC and I dug around pretty thoroughly a while back when we found a verified Standing Rock Indian Reservation page coming from Macedonia.

I’ve been keeping tabs on foreign impostor Native accounts on FB since 2016 on my page Exploiting the Niche. I wrote about the Ricky Hamilton photoshop insult in April 2017.

If Twitter users missed out on these- I’ll make a thread of some notable ones. This page has been removed by Facebook (the owner still active with other pages) This audience mining petition they ran is still up on Actionsprout using plagiarized text of the real Dave Archambault II’s petition from a different petition site.
