Mark Zuckerberg said the social media giant had implemented a lot of different measures since 2016 to verify any advertiser who is running a political ad.
SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook Inc’s Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg is confident the world’s biggest social network will do better in 2020 at stopping “bad actors” from manipulating the US presidential election.
“These aren’t things that you ever fully solve, right? They’re ongoing arms races, where we need to make sure that our systems stay ahead of the sophisticated bad actors, who are just always going to try to game them.” Zuckerberg said here the social media giant had implemented a lot of different measures since 2016 to verify any advertiser who is running a political ad and create an archive so anyone could see what advertisers are running, who they are targeting and how much they are paying.
The company said in congressional testimony last year that Russian agents created 129 events on the network during the 2016 US election campaign, shedding more light on Russia’s purported disinformation drive aimed at voters.
