Facebook sorry for listing Kashmir as a country
Facebook on Wednesday apologised for erroneously naming Kashmir as a separate country in a blog post that listed countries targeted by an Iranian network. The company said it has removed the reference.
“We mistakenly included ‘Kashmir’ in our blog post when listing the countries and regions impacted by the Iranian network we disrupted for coordinated inauthentic behaviour,” Facebook said in a statement.
The social media giant, on Tuesday, had said that it removed 513 pages, groups and accounts for engaging in “coordinated inauthentic” behaviour as part of multiple networks tied to Iran. It had added that they operated in many countries, including Egypt, India and Indonesia. The list included Kashmir.
