>It says the accounts have to be central to the operation to be counted here.

Ah ha, I missed that nugget. That said, I'm still surprised that, globally, that number is so low.

>Accounts that just repeat disinformation/misinformation from other places, or inflate like counts, aren't included

Does FB ever make such information available publicly?

The number have to be limited because even most state actors have limited manpower to operate trendsetting accounts.

I'm not surprised the number is so low. Isn't it the case that only 1% of people cause 99% of the content or something? It'd be only a small number of core intentionally malicious actors could cause other people to follow along in good faith, especially in today's social media pressure to speak on controversies.

I wouldn’t expect so, they have nothing to gain form it.
