Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday that the social network is better equipped to fight potential interference efforts ahead of this year's election than it was in 2016.
In 2016, our election security efforts prepared us for traditional cyberattacks like phishing, malware, and hacking, he wrote in a blog post. We identified those and notified the government and those affected. What we didn't expect were foreign actors launching coordinated information operations with networks of fake accounts spreading division and misinformation.
Today, Facebook is better prepared for these kinds of attacks, he continued.
In the lengthy note to users, Zuckerberg outlined the steps Facebook has taken since the 2016 election to combat misinformation and promote transparency in its advertising practices. He also said that the company has stepped up its cooperation with governments to identify potential threats.
Last month, Facebook and other major online platforms cracked down on alleged Iranian and Russian operations using fake accounts to meddle in other countries elections.
The ramped-up security measures also come as the company is being scrutinized by regulators over a privacy scandal in which the now defunct political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica improperly obtained data on millions of Facebook users.
This effort is part of a broader challenge to rework much of how Facebook operates to be more proactive about protecting our community from harm and taking a broader view of our responsibility overall, Zuckerberg wrote.
Translation: All Conservative and Republicans will be banned.
“scrutinized”
That is rough.
Well, as long as it’s only fake accounts...
Zuckerberg: Facebook ‘better prepared’ ahead of midterms
________________________________________________
They sure are. They’ve blocked and banned conservatives at every angle.
Twitter has shadow banned us. Google has deleted conservative links.
And yet - We will still win another election rigged against us by these bastards.
Facebook: We’ve worked as hard as we could to make sure the feckless Democrats look like great choices to weak minds.
The Russian ads didn’t affect the Election.
Time to break en all up...also Amazon
We need a election meme image repository and #keywords to pick from for sharing on Facebook. See how long it takes to get banned. Just flood Facebook with post...
Robber Baron Zuckerberg’s Facebook Trust should not be at all involved in the election.
Facebook should be shut down from now until after the election.
They’re getting nothing but dissed on the PR posts on their own site. It seems that no one wants FB know-it-alls controlling what’s suitable.
I don't think it's gonna help. The Trump economy and extreme leftist obstructionism have been on display for two years now.
Stole his business idea
Stole all the shares from his BEST friend
Secretly sold users data
Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".
Married in the community property state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.
Requested nude photos of users to protect them against the risk of revenge porn.
Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data so I can help cure diseases.
Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.
De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.
Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so my users can check their balances on my site."
Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".
Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of.
Established a "trustwothiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.
Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.
Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.
For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.
Thanks yesthatjallen. By attacks, Zuckass is referring to imaginary BS cooked up to change the subject from FB's partisan shilling, and the FB profiteering from Russian agitprop.
Yes.
This time, the fix is REALLY in...
He’s a zuckhole
