Facebook has a detailed plan to fight election interference for the 2018 mid-terms - Recode: A few other things Facebook is doing:
The social network is notifying people who share fake news that they shared fake news, and also wants to “warn people who try to share it going forward.”
Facebook is close to rolling out the new political ad dashboard that it announced last fall. The dashboard will let people see who is buying what political ads, and the company has already been testing it in Canada. It plans to roll it out in the U.S. this summer.
Facebook is trying to prevent bad actors from getting started at all. The company says it’s blocking “millions of fake accounts each day at the point of creation.”
