Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated recently that the upcoming U.S. midterm elections will be “a real test” of the company’s ability to crack down on “hate speech” and misinformation.
The Hollywood Reporter stated in a recent article that Facebook will make its biggest increase in money spent to combat “hate speech” and misinformation on its platform this year, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg stated that despite Facebook’s increased expenditure, the company still won’t be as “dialed in as well as everyone would like us to be,” in relation to security and influence campaigns on the platform.
Zuckerberg stated that the upcoming midterm elections will be “a real test” of the newly implemented safeguards designed to protect the platform from “bad actors,” following reports of numerous foreign influence campaigns on the social media website. Zuckerberg said that during the upcoming election, the platform will see “all the good and bad that humanity can do,” but that the social media platform is getting better at hiding the “bad stuff” from users.

Yep, a friend of mine was just blocked for 24 hours and now the last stretch of FB campaigning he was blocked for 3 more days on the same FB post that he was originally blocked for. Tell me how this affects on GOP candidates even in local races.
Sad how the Butthurt Socialists are trying to steal elections.
I was just going to say that . He is a sneaky SOB. Obama lover.
Have come to the conclusion that FB, Google, YouTube (google subsidiary) and their ilk are in fact public utilities and should be regulated to ensure that First Amendment protections are afforded to all citizens. Reach that conclusion reluctantly but it's time for some trust busting.
