Facebook: Protecting European elections

Facebook plans to do more this year to prevent elections from being affected.

Facebook also wants to use more people to intervene if something threatens to go wrong. In Ireland and Singapore, regional centers should be set up, which should become an 'extra defense layer against fake news and hatred' for the 'integrity of elections. 'Facebook deletes messages that go against the rules, but there are also messages that, according to the rules, are allowed, but that' undermine the authenticity of the platform ', such as sensational stories. These will be lower in the timeline of users. If people see such messages less, they are also less shared.
