At least 20 Iranian feminists, most connected to Iran\'s #MeToo Movement, have written a letter of complaint to Instagram and Facebook after they were bombarded with thousands of fake followers. They say they\'ve been deliberately targeted and want META - the owner of the social media platforms - to take action. They say they\'re under a "coordinated cyberattack".
