Zuckerberg's Meta Rolling Out 40 Teams to 'Protect' Midterm Elections by Disrupting Groups and Censoring Content

Facebook is rolling out its rules for the midterm elections in a post from Meta about how it plans to throw its weight around in the weeks leading up to the November midterm elections.

According to a post published last week from Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, 40 teams will be monitoring the elections.

The post cites one side of the forces allegedly trying to disrupt an election by noting that Meta has “banned more than 270 white supremacist organizations, and removed 2.5 million pieces of content tied to organized hate globally on Facebook in the first quarter of 2022.”

No specific mention was made about Facebook banning content from left-wing groups or their activities.

For the midterms, Clegg’s post said the company will employ “advanced security operations to fight foreign interference and domestic influence campaigns, our network of independent fact-checking partners, our industry-leading transparency measures around political advertising and pages, as well as new measures to help keep poll workers safe.”

“As we did in 2020, we have a dedicated team in place to combat election and voter interference while also helping people get reliable information about when and how to vote,” the post stated.

Facebook will partner with the Biden administration as well, through an alliance with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, according to the post.

The company will also work with the National Association of Secretaries of State, which is led by Tahesha Way, the New Jersey secretary of state who was embroiled in a lawsuit with former President Donald Trump over the conduct of her state’s election s in 2020.

Another partner Facebook identified was the National Association of State Elections Directors, which is headed by Meagan Wolfe, Wisconsin’s Election Commission administrator.

I was a little early on my prediction for last election.

However, I fully expect a chilling effect on all in person voting due to many bomb threats (with a handful true to keep the fear going);
BLM and Black Panthers linking arms to stop white voters with police afraid to look un-woke and discriminatory with ACLU lawyers watching them closely;
a few groups of patriots (infiltrated with FBI phonies) coming to support people’s right to vote safely and more.

With breathless local news and national news “here at the scene of the discovery of deadly explosives” “police are keeping the polling place cordoned off and dogs were sent in.” At home “Harl, do you think we should give up going out to vote this time?”

Zuckerberg’s Meta will be lucky it lasts until the election the stock is falling at a high rate of speed.

Some say infighting in the company is ramping up not sounding good.

Facebook is becoming less relevant every month.
Check out the massive fall in Facebook market cap this year.
And Zuckerberg net worth has close to halved this year alone.

Now we have to wonder when we had our last honest election. When did social media become the “thing?” Probably can go from there!

40 teams, large scale illegal election tampering and the GOP will do nothing

It would be nice for their identities and locations to be constantly tracked after Labor Day. People in some places might want to show them special hospitality.

250 White Supremacist groups! What utter bosh! I can't even name one. Haven't heard or seen anything of the sort. That is how they slander anyone who isn't part of the Deep State cabal.

That Zuckerberg is a real piece of work, such a complete a-hole.

Zuckerberg’s “protection” sounds like a racket. A protection racket to obstruct the electoral process.
