SINGAPORE: Facebook on Tuesday (Mar 5) said it is setting up an operations centre in Singapore focusing on election integrity ahead of key elections across Asia Pacific.
The world's largest social network cited misinformation, misrepresentation, foreign interference, phishing, harassment and violent threats as examples of behaviour it wants to eliminate across all its platforms - Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - adding that it has removed thousands of pages, groups and accounts globally.
The social media giant added:"The center will be staffed by experts from Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, who will work cross-functionally with our threat intelligence, data science, engineering, research, community operations, legal and other teams."This center will work with our Menlo Park headquarters and in-country experts to serve as another line of defense against false news and misinformation, hate speech, voter suppression and election interference.
"We want to make it harder to interfere with elections on the platform, and easier for people to make their voices legitimately heard in the political process."
