The Influence Operations team presented on the Influence Operations Research Archive, which contains information relating to networks that Meta removed for violating Meta’s [coordinated inauthentic behavior](https://about.fb.com/news/tag/coordinated-inauthentic-behavior/) (CIB) policy.
These networks centrally rely on fake accounts to mislead people about who they are in a coordinated effort to manipulate public debate for a strategic goal. The CIB policy is the primary way Meta enforces against covert influence operations on its platforms.
The Influence Operations Archive includes posts from public Groups, Pages, Facebook accounts, and Instagram accounts removed for violating our CIB policy and houses information related to over 100 CIB networks originating from all around the world.
