100 fake Facebook accounts defamed Masungi Georeserve in the Philippines during a reforestation contract proposal termination.

The Masungi Georeserve in the Philippines, a celebrated nature reserve, has faced a fake online smear campaign involving nearly 100 fraudulent Facebook accounts. These accounts spread misleading claims about the reserve and attacked celebrities advocating for its protection. The campaign coincided with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources' proposal to terminate a key reforestation contract. The DENR denies any connection to the accounts, which Meta has mostly removed.
