Incident I00109: Coordinated Facebook Pages Designed to Fund a White Supremacist Agenda

  • Summary: [In this report EU Disinfo Lab] uncovered a network of 16 French Facebook pages hiding their white nationalist/white supremacist and racist views behind misleading names, calling users to support policemen, firefighters, or armed forces, and sometimes even victims of terrorism.

    This extremist network, called Suavelos, is also very active on other platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, VKontakte, Minds, Telegram, promoting hate speech against non-white populations. This extremist network also organises summer camps for white populations, admitting to the use of a non-for-profit organisation to hide its illegal agenda, which facilitates its ability to be able to collect and redistribute money.

    [EU Disinfo Lab] also uncovered some of their funding sources, from web advertisements on their websites to online shops and donations.
