Mark Zuckerberg says he is "sure someone's trying" to use Facebook to meddle with the US mid-term polls in November, amidst allegation of Russian interference in the 2016 election that rattled Americans and spawned government inquiries.
"I'm sure someone's trying," the Facebook CEO told CNN when asked about the possibility of meddling happening right now.
"I'm sure that there's v2, version two, of whatever the Russian effort was in 2016, I'm sure they're working on that," he said. "And there are going to be some new tactics that we need to make sure that we observe and get in front of."
Zuckerberg said Facebook executives "have some sense of the different things that we need to get in front of."
Zuckerberg added: "Now the reality is, with a community of two billion people, I can't promise that we're going to find everything. But what I can commit to is that we're going to make it as hard as possible for these adversaries to do that and I think that we're going to do a much better job."
"What we try to do is send the person at Facebook who will have the most knowledge," Zuckerberg said. "If that's me, then I am happy to go."
