Aaron Berman, a 17-year veteran of the CIA who already held a senior position in Facebook’s “misinformation” team during the 2020 election, has been promoted to “Head of Elections Policies” at the company now known as Meta.
Berman served at the CIA between March 2002 and July 2019. During that time, he wrote for and edited the President’s Daily Brief, an influential top-secret document prepared by the U.S. intelligence community given to the president each morning.
According to Berman’s Linkedin, he enjoyed positions of considerable influence at the agency, including “supervising teams of dozens of analysts and with multi-million-dollar budgets,” and leading briefings for members of congress and National Security Council members.
In 2019, he left the agency and joined Facebook (now known as Meta), where he became a senior product policy manager for “misinformation.” According to Berman, he “built the misinformation policy team’s US workforce and put policies into practice during critical events.”
While Berman does not say what these “critical events” were, his time in Facebook’s “misinformation” department coincides with the runup to the 2020 election, in which Facebook and other social media platforms censored leading Republican voices and conservative news sites with the guidance of deep state-linked entities.

According to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, it was the U.S. intelligence community, specifically the FBI, that warned the company of an imminent “Russian propaganda dump” shortly before the New York Post published the first of its stories on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” Facebook, along with other leading social media platforms, quickly suppressed the story.

Yeah, there’s nothing problematic at all about having a former government agent, who worked for an agency apparently chartered with deception, heading the elections division at Facebook. After “the most secure elections in history”.
Nice...so they are hiring people to suppress “election information”.
Is Facebook still a thing ? LOL
Everyone knows Zuck and Facebook is nothing more than a CIA front whose mission is to mind-control and otherwise manipulate the masses. Using private entities to do the government’s bidding is now all the rage in Marxist America.
I heard last week OVER 100 former FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ employees working at Fakebook/Meta. Interesting. The host of the podcast referred to Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, etc as ‘Intelligence Platforms’
Meta says it is blocking news on Facebook, Instagram after government passes online news bill. ( Canada ).

Why does a “private corporation” have an “election policies” team?
They should have nothing to do with elections at all, other than legal citizens in their employ exercising their right to vote.
Too bad we no longer have the rule of law.
These types are rarely ‘former’, no matter what they say. They are, after all, trained liars, for the most part.
Isn’t that election interference? I mean, really?
Gosh, now they are really in-your-face with the CIA FBI control over “election” outcomes.
“Election” is now just a media-stooges staged propaganda spree.
This is why we should revisit and tighten section 230.
From my distant little corner of the world, I assume Facebook is entering a mid-life crisis. I know fewer and fewer people who use it. For people under 30, its the equivalent of a using a rotary telephone.
Yes, they have Instragram to target the kiddies
and while it makes A LOT of money ($23 billion) Facebook’s yearly sales revenue actually dropped for the first time ever. Its business remains mainly North American-centric. Its revenues in Asia are small and have dropped significantly. Its overall users have peaked (for now) as well
The fact that it has fully aligned itself with the US security state doesn’t bode well for its growth in the USA or its acceptance overseas.
These types are rarely ‘former’,
“No matter what they say. They are, after all, trained liars, for the most part!”
Do they ever leave one of the Mother Intel gathering/spewing
3 letter agencies?
Why not. Facebook was an intel op from jump.
BINGO!
Even right here on good ol FR.
Doublethink requires using logic against logic or suspending disbelief in the contradiction.
