Facebook Inc. is looking to hire people who have national security clearances, a move the company thinks is necessary to prevent foreign powers from manipulating future elections through its social network, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Workers with such clearance can access information classified by the U.S. government. Facebook plans to use these people -- and their ability to receive government information about potential threats -- to search more proactively for questionable social media campaigns ahead of elections, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the information is sensitive. A Facebook spokesman declined to comment.

This sounds like BS. It's much more likely that Facebook is in bed with the fed snoopers, requiring them to have fed-compatible employees.
What's the point of this alleged security anyway? Russia did NOT hack our election; however, the Clintons DID help sell uranium to the Russians. Which is the bigger threat? And why does all this "security" seem to really be aimed at We The People?
Facebook is NOT our friend.
Here are further details about the REAL Russia scandal - bribing the Clintons to facilitate the uranium purchase:
