Facebook recently took down four disinformation campaigns. Three of them derived from Iran with the other stemming from Russia.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he believed that freedom of speech was an important value of the platform, but he equally acknowledges that the platform is increasingly equipped to deal with false information.
Zuckerberg explains,“Elections have changed significantly since 2016, but Facebook has changed too. We’ve gone from being on our back foot to now proactively going after some of the biggest threats that are out there.”
