>> protecting elections > Why is a private company involved in this? Shouldn't this be the responsibility of a government agency? If I make a company as large as FB can I start getting involved in controlling elections? Yes... in an authoritarian country that doesn't have free or fair elections. In a democracy that kind of responsibility is distributed. Sure, the government has a role, but so does everyone else. That includes both you, me, Facebook, etc. It doesn't work to unload the responsibility on the government and wash your hands of it.
