The administrators of Facebook have discovered a Russian-funded fake news campaign to promote divisive social and political messages on the network.

The United States-based company said one hundred thousand dollars was spent on about three thousand through the campaign over a two-year period, ending in May this year.

 

Facebook said the ads did not back any political figures specifically, but instead posted on topics including immigration, race and equal rights.

 

The revelation was made in ongoing investigation into the matter, which Facebook said it was co-operating with US officials.
