Facebook warns of “perception hacks”” undermining trust in democracy”

Facebook says it recently took down three networks that violated its policies around coordinated inauthentic behavior. One of the networks was linked to a perception hack that targeted the U.S. and Israel. The tech giant says it found the network after the FBI discovered off-platform activity by a network claiming to have interfered in the election. The perception hacking can have dire consequences on people’s faith in democracy, sowing distrust, division and confusion among the voters it targets. It’s a particularly acute threat to the 2020 election because it’s already clouded by so much uncertainty around mail-in voting.”]
