WSJ — Facebook Prepares Measures for Election Violence
Facebook Inc. teams have planned for the possibility of trying to calm election-related conflict in the U.S. by deploying internal tools. The emergency measures include slowing the spread of viral content and lowering the bar for suppressing potentially inflammatory posts, the people said. Previously used in countries including Sri Lanka and Myanmar, they are part of a larger tool kit developed by Facebook to prepare for the U.S. election.
Facebook executives have said they would only deploy the tools in dire circumstances, such as election-related violence, but that the company needs to be prepared for all possibilities, said the people familiar with the planning.
The potential moves include an across-the-board slowing of the spread of posts as they start to go viral and tweaking the news feed to change what types of content users see, the people said. The company could also lower the threshold for detecting the types of content its software views as dangerous.
Deployed together, the tools could alter what tens of millions of Americans see when they log onto the platform, diminishing their exposure to sensationalism, incitements to violence and misinformation, said the people familiar with the measures. But slowing down the spread of popular content could suppress some good-faith political discussion, a prospect that makes some Facebook employees uneasy, some of the people said.
“We’ve spent years building for safer, more secure elections,” Facebook Democrat spokesman Andy Stone said. “We’ve applied lessons from previous elections, hired experts, and built new teams with experience across different areas to prepare for various scenarios.”
Facebook earlier this month was criticized by many Republicans, including President Trump, after it slowed the spread of New York Post articles related to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

That’s okay. Trump has the Emergency Alert System.
One flick of a switch and All You Broadcast Stations Belong Us.

And Zuckerberg knows the Republicans are weak and will do nothing.
“Censor content” = anything that makes Biden look bad. TDS will still be allowed
Posting a smiley face or a like when DJT wins the election is deemed hate speech and threatening.
Facebook is believing its own publicity. FB and Twitter are not the only way to communicate. What idiots.
Controlling social media content and news coverage was part of Bill Gates and John Hopkins event 201 simulation last October
Facebook prepares to censor content in ‘election emergency’…

The “election emergency” being a win by Pres. Trump
Facebook didn’t care several times throughout the year when leftists and even troll/bot accounts were posting Iranian and Chinese state run media propaganda
In other new speak terms, they plan on censoring all Trump content and reports, especially voting fraud, on election day. They won’t be the only ones...twitter and instagram will be “experience black out problems” that day. Just a coincidence...I’m sure.

Every time you log in you are putting another nail in the coffin of America.
