And Facebook was more focused on spam removal rather than the societal impact of coordinated attacks, according to the reported memo. During the 2018 elections, Facebook had to remove more than 10 million fake reactions and followers from politicians in the US and Brazil, the report says.

Prosecutors accused Parnas and his partner of conning people into investing more than $2 million in their Florida-based start-up, Fraud Guarantee, only to withdraw much of it for personal uses, including political donations.

At a hearing on Monday before U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in Manhattan, Lev Parnas and another former Giuliani associate, Belarus-born Igor Fruman, also pleaded not guilty to violating campaign finance laws and other charges in an amended indictment.

"Overall, the focus of my organization -- and most of Facebook -- was on large-scale problems, an approach which fixated us on spam," Zhang reportedly wrote. "The civic aspect was discounted because of its small volume, its disproportionate impact ignored."

KYIV, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Ukraine is seeking a $100 million loan from the World Bank to buy doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, deputy health minister Svitlana Shatalova said on Thursday, as the number of new infections in the country hit a daily record high.

Ukraine´s Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said last week the country hoped to receive 8 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine in the first half of next year under the global COVAX Facility, which has been set up to provide the vaccine to poorer countries.



Attorney Nicolas Roos defended the government's handling of the case, telling Oetken that prosecutors had not been able to access seven locked electronic devices from Parnas and Fruman that it had seized.

"I have personally made decisions that affected national presidents without oversight ... "In the three years I've spent at Facebook, I've found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry," the memo reportedly says. I know that I have blood on my hands by now."

Facebook reportedly ignored fake accounts being used to undermine elections via misinformation posted on the social media platform, according to a leaked memo. The 6,000-word memo, written by a former Facebook data scientist and seen by BuzzFeed News, said the site reacted slowly to evidence of coordinated campaigns to influence political results globally.

She pointed to examples of coordinated campaigns being used to mislead people in the US, Honduras, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Ukraine, Spain, India, Bolivia and Ecuador in the reported memo. Facebook only began investigating the Azerbaijan incident a year after Zhang reported it, according to the report, and it took nine months for Facebook's leadership to act on a Honduran misinformation campaign.

The cyberattacks listed in Monday's indictment are among some of the most significant hacks ever, and all trace back to Russian operatives, the Justice Department said. US intelligence officials have , which have cost companies billions of dollars and across multiple nations. 



"These attacks turned out the lights and turned off the heat in the middle of the Eastern European winter, as the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children went dark and cold," Demers said.

The hacks include the most , attacks that caused and an intrusion on the .  Six Russian military hackers have been indicted over a series of seismic cyberattacks since 2015, the Department of Justice announced Monday.



They declined to provide any details on how those companies helped. The six Russian hackers belonged to the same military unit behind the , prosecutors said. They worked with tech giants including Google, Facebook and Twitter for the investigation, and expects to continue its work with private companies for future investigations, Justice Department officials said.



Targets include the Olympics' organizers, sponsors and logistics services, the UK's National Cyber Security Centre said. In a separate announcement on Monday, the UK government said it found Russian hackers targeted the 2020 Olympics in Japan before they were postponed.
