Zuckerberg: ‘Three-Year Project' to ‘Fix' Elections, Fake News, Misinformation – Just in Time for 2020
2018-04-06
[Breitbart] In his call with members of the press yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook was "probably a year into a massive three-year push" to fix alleged issues surrounding "fake news," "misinformation," and election interference on the platform.

Zuckerberg’s timeline implies that Facebook’s goal is to have fundamentally altered their platform by the time of the 2020 presidential elections, and that work on the project started at approximately the same time as the presidential victory of Donald Trump.



That’s also when the panic over "fake news" and "misinformation" started, led by the left-wing and corporate media and embraced by Democratic lawmakers. The resultant changes to Facebook have seen conservative media and the official Facebook account of Donald Trump suffer severe hits to their engagement and traffic.

"In 2016 we were behind where we wanted to be," said Zuckerberg. "We had a more traditional view of the security threat. We expected Russia and other countries to try and do phishing and traditional kinds of security exploits, but not necessarily the kind of misinformation campaign that they did. We were behind ‐ that was a really big miss. And now we want to make sure that we’re not behind again."

#10  It is amazing that Trump won in 2016. About every deep state hand was turned against him in the rigging of the election to favor HRC.

#9  Sounds like a naked attempt to share the FB data with the democratic party brand of the uni-party

Good luck, it'll mean even more Trump.

It was all just one big misunderstanding.
