Calcalist has obtained the identities of several executives at Archimedes Group, the company behind a recently uncovered Israeli fake social media network focused on Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, Angola, Niger, and Tunisia, as well as Latin America and Southeast Asia. On Thursday, Facebook announced it has deleted a network of 265 fake accounts, pages, events, and groups on Facebook and Instagram, linking it with Archimedes Group, which was subsequently blocked from the company’s platforms.
