You said on election day
it's over.
But it well might not be,
right?
I think the dynamic
that you're talking about
is really important, which is
that we may not know
the final result
on election night.
One of the things
that I think we
and-- and, um, other media
need to start doing
is preparing, um,
the American people that,
um, there's nothing illegitimate
about this election taking
additional days, or even weeks,
um, to make sure that all of
the votes are counted.
In fact,
that might be important
to make sure that this is
a legitimate,
um, and fair election.
So, we're going to do a-- a--
a bunch of different messaging
around that,
just to make sure that people
know that that's normal.
So if one of the, um, candidates
in-- in any of the races
claims victory before there's,
um, a consensus result,
then we're going to add
some informational context
to that post directly,
saying that, um,
that there-- there's no
consensus result yet.
I think that this is important
because there is, unfortunately,
I think,
a heightened risk of, um,
of civil unrest
in-- in the period, you know,
between, uh--
between voting and a--
a result being called or--
or after that. And I just think
that we need to be doing
everything that we can to, uh,
reduce the chances of violence
or civil unrest in the--
in the wake of this election.
If that were to happen,
would Facebook be blamed
in part?
Um, well I-- I can't speak to--
to what other people would do,
but I-- I think we're trying
to make sure that we do
our part to make sure that, um,
that none of this is--
is organized on Facebook.
We wanna make sure that
none of that stuff is--
is happening on our services.
Um, but, you know, the--
the country is--
is very charged right now, so
I-- I think regardless
of what we do
there's some chance that
this happens,
um, across the country.
Uh, I just wanna make sure
that we do our part
to not contribute to it.
