Facebook wants to hire individuals with national security clearances, a decision motivated by the possibility that Russian actors may have manipulated its platform during the 2016 election, Bloomberg reported.
A source told the news service that Facebook believes that such workers can help its efforts in countering foreign actors trying to influence users and direct misinformation campaigns.
Such candidates are often former government and intelligence employees or contractors, Bloomberg reported. In the past, clearances were deactivated when an official left the government. The clearances can now carry over to the private sector, however, if an employee is still dealing with classified information. Facebook can reportedly ask that clearance statuses be reactivated.
