Facebook suspended five accounts, including that of Jonathan Morgan, the chief executive of social media research firm New Knowledge, for meddling in Alabama’ s special election last year, as reported by the Washington Post.

In a statement to the Washington Post, Facebook said:

“We take a strong stand against people or organizations that create networks of accounts to mislead others about who they are or what they’re doing...We’ve removed thousands of Pages, Groups and accounts for this kind of behavior, as well as accounts that were violating our policies on spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior during the Alabama special election last year.”

Facebook did not name the accounts. Morgan confirmed to the Post that his was one of those suspended.
