Facebook vows to restrict users if US election descends into chaos
- tboyd47 6y ago> 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. Interesting definition of "chaos" there. Wouldn't one expect in-person votes (along with early ballots and absentee ballots) to be counted more rapidly than mail-in ballots, since the former are well-established systems and the mail-in ballots are something new and unprecedented?
