Mark Zuckerberg didn’t mince words on a call with reporters Monday: “The bottom line here is that elections have changed significantly since 2016, and Facebook has changed too.”

It’s true, the days of Zuckerberg arguing that filter bubbles are worse in the real world than on Facebook, and dismissing the notion that social media could influence the way people vote as a “pretty crazy idea” are long gone. Facebook, he said, has gone from being “on our back foot” to proactively seeking out threats and fighting coordinated influence operations ahead of the 2020 US presidential election.
