Bolivia says it hired U.S. lobbying firm linked by Facebook to fake news
Bolivia's interim presidency said on Thursday it had hired a Washington-based lobbying firm that Facebook Inc accuses of launching fake news campaigns to skew democratic debate. Bolivia's interim government, which assumed power in a vacuum after the resignation of longtime leftist leader Evo Morales late last year, said it hired CLS Strategies in December in an effort to shore up its international support. Facebook said in a report https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/August-2020-CIB-Report.pdf on Tuesday that it had removed fake social media accounts linked to CLS that had posted content in support of caretaker Bolivia's President Jeanine Anez and the political opposition to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
