Facebook uncovered "sophisticated" efforts, "possibly linked to Russia," to influence American politics in advance of the U.S. midterm elections.
The company said in a blog post that it removed 32 accounts from Facebook and Instagram because they were involved in "coordinated" political behavior and appeared to be fake.
Facebook did not explicitly say that the effort was aimed at influencing the midterm elections in November, but the timing of the suspicious activity would be consistent with such an attempt.

Folks like the readers here need to get a grip. The Russians, Democrats, Republicans, or whoever can post all they want on social media. It is YOU who have the power to actually go find the facts BEFORE forming an opinion. Too bad most of you squander that opportunity every day.
