" Facebook has said it will take aggressive and exceptional measures to "restrict the circulation of content" on its platform if November's presidential election descends into chaos or violent civic unrest. In an interview with the Financial Times, Nick Clegg, the company's head of global affairs, said it had drawn up plans for how to handle a range of outcomes, including widespread civic unrest or "the political dilemmas" of having in-person votes counted more rapidly than mail-in ballots, which will play a larger role in this election due to the coronavirus pandemic. "There are some break-glass options available to us if there really is an extremely chaotic and, worse still, violent set of circumstances," Mr Clegg said, though he stopped short of elaborating further on what measures were on the table. The proposed actions, which would probably go further than any previously taken by a US platform, come as the social media group is under increasing pressure to lay out how it plans to combat election-related misinformation, voter suppression and the incitement of violence on the November 3 election day and during the post-election period.

FaceBooks reptilian CEO has been to some real degree, grooming himself in the public eye for a possible future USA presidential run. But in quite recent times the mask is really coming off, albeit with "sophisticated" words (from an NPCs point of view). The funniest part is that, although the DemonRats are correctly seeing November as somewhat of a "our very existence" issue, they "fight" on, lifting more of the masks etc, even though they know the only way they can win is vote stealing, court cases and civil chaos.
