Facebook's behavior stayed quiet until legitimized.
   Editor's note: groups speak of more when held with value.

     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.
