The Social Design Agency has faced punitive sanctions in the European Union since 2023 and in the United States since last April for spreading propaganda and disinformation.
The report follows the announcement by Facebook's parent company, Meta, that it was changing its rules for content it allows on its social media platforms.
The changes will almost certainly intensify Meta's confrontation with regulators in Europe over how it handles disinformation and other corrosive content.
