Facebook ramps up election security efforts as 2020 nears
Facebook Inc. discovered four separate misinformation networks — three tied to Iran and one to Russia — that the social network said it shut down as part of its effort to counter “foreign influence campaigns.”” took aim at the United States, North Africa and Latin America and included “proactive work ahead of the U.S. elections.” The company said it shared its findings with “law enforcement and industry partners.
Facebook has faced questions about its ability to identify and fight disinformation and influence campaigns on its platforms during the 2016 campaign, and now the social media company has been at the center of attention as the 2020 U.S. presidential election approaches. Facebook has gone to great lengths to tell voters and lawmakers that it’s taking misinformation more seriously — something it did before the 2018 U.S. midterm elections as well.
Zuckerberg said last week that he doesn’t believe it’s Facebook’s role to make decisions about posts from politicians.
