Preparing for Elections – Mark Zuckerberg

I found this interesting:

"Fortunately, our systems are shared, so when we find bad actors on Facebook, we can also remove accounts linked to them on Instagram and WhatsApp as well."

Followed by this:

"This is harder with services like Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube, iMessage, or any other service where you don't need to provide your real identity."

Also: "One advantage Facebook has is that we have a principle that you must use your real identity. This means we have a clear notion of what's an authentic account."

Followed by: "Fake accounts are one of the primary vehicles for spreading misinformation -- especially politically-motivated misinformation and propaganda. "

It's not hard to create a fake Facebook account.
