Alex Stamos, the former chief security officer at Facebook — who left the social media giant in 2018 during “an internal dispute over how to handle the threat” of disinformation during the Midterm elections — compared the technological fight against radical Islamic terrorism on multiple occasions with the battle against “disinformation” from conservative news outlets One America News Network and Newsmax, as well as radical “conservative influencers,” against whom social media companies and other organizations must “collaborate.”
