Meta earned over $200,000 from an ad campaign, seen by millions, that pushed pro-Kremlin talking points and undermined local elections in Moldova, according to new research.
Just months after Meta said it would stop Shor’s ads, according to new research from Reset shared exclusively with WIRED, Shor and his eponymous Shor Party had spun up an even more elaborate advertising campaign on Facebook that aimed to destabilize Moldova’s local elections in November and undermine Moldova’s entry to the European Union.
Moldovan authorities also banned Shor's party in June 2023 after the oligarch was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison on fraud and money laundering charges. Shor lived in Israel at the time, though he has reportedly departed the country, and his current whereabouts are unknown. US companies like Meta are prohibited from engaging in financial transactions with sanctioned individuals and groups.
