Correction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06297-w Published online 27 July 2023In the version of this article initially published, the variable described in Supplementary Table 36 as measuring Facebook “strikes” for violations of content policies against “Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior” (CIB) is inaccurate and does not reflect enforcement of the actual CIB policy, which is not a content-level policy. We therefore removed this row from Supplementary Table 36.
