Mother Jones: Facebook Doesn’t Want to Talk About Fake Users Created by the Pentagon
Social media platforms have promised to root out similar activity by “foreign” actors.
On a press call a few years ago, I asked Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, if the company would treat a misinformation campaign orchestrated by the US government the same as it would as one from a foreign adversary.

5 / 13 = .384 or 38.4%
More than one in 3 were informants
"An FBI informant suspected of being the driving force behind the alleged plot to "kidnap" Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was quietly hit with a gun charge by the feds last week — potentially signaling the government's suspected entrapment scheme that ensnared the "Wolverine Watchmen" militia may be falling apart"

When an informant is a leader or thee leader, when does it become a government plot against the government?
Facebook is a disinformation campaign.
