Ahead of the elections, Facebook is adding a new safety feature to South African pages
South Africa’s largest social media network – will soon display where the managers of all South African pages are located.
This is in line with the social network’s intention to increase transparency and combat fake news in the run-up to the 2019 South African elections, a Facebook representative told Business Insider South Africa on Wednesday.
In the 2016 US elections – where Hillary Clinton lost the presidency to Donald Trump in a stunning defeat – Facebook admitted that Russian parties used the platform to influence roughly 126 million Americans, from outside the countries.
