Facebook will set up an operations centre in US to focus on "elections integrity" in the run-up to May's European Union elections, according to the firm's communications chief, Nick Clegg. He said the centre would follow the Dublin-based 'election war room' model, with input from Facebook's threat intelligence, data science, engineering, research, community operations and legal teams to combat misinformation and fake news. The centre would also prevent voter suppression across the social media site, Instagram and WhatsApp.
