''In 2016, a key component of Russia’s efforts to help Donald Trump win the White House involved moving disinformation through social media, especially Facebook. While it’s still uncertain what the Kremlin is up to this time, Facebook remains the world’s most powerful delivery system for lies, propaganda, and conspiracy theories.
As we head toward an election that could well be contested after Nov. 3, there’s a new reason to fear that Facebook could again play a toxic role in spreading chaos that is badly debilitating to our democratic system.
The threat this time resides in a combustible combination of two factors. The first is what’s known as Facebook’s “group recommendation engine,” which drives people to private Facebook groups. Experts have long warned that these private groups are festering grounds for disinformation and extremist activity, from QAnon to anti-vaxxers, and that the recommendation engine drives people unwittingly into them.''
