Facebook blocked two Bangladesh non-profit organizations over allegations that they targeted activists, journalists and minorities by hacking into their online content and disseminating “fictitious” information, security officials with the company said this week.
The social media giant identified the organizations as Don’s Team (also known as Defense of Nation) and the Crime Research and Analysis Foundation (CRAF).
“Don’s Team and CRAF collaborated to report people on Facebook for fictitious violations of our community standards, including alleged impersonation, intellectual property infringements, nudity and terrorism,” Nathaniel Gleicher, head of security policy, and Mike Dvilyanski, cyber threat intelligence manager, said in a statement issued Thursday.
