Facebook says it is taking new steps to clearly identify state-run media and to better protect the accounts of political candidates and officials as part of a broader effort to prevent its platform from being abused to interfere with the 2020 US elections.
Facebook said Monday that it is taking new steps to clearly identify state-run media for users and to better protect the accounts of political candidates and officials as part of a broader effort to prevent its platform from being abused to interfere with the 2020 US elections. Starting next month, Facebook will label publications that are"wholly or partially under the editorial control of their government as state-controlled media," the company said in a blog post Monday.
On a conference call with reporters Monday, Zuckerberg said the company's ability to proactively catch and disclose these coordinated networks of accounts shows that Facebook's defensive systems are working. He also stressed that Facebook now has more than 35,000 people working on safety and security efforts.The policy updates and account takedowns come as Facebook and Zuckerberg confront continued scrutiny from politicians on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail.
