In an interview with MorningEdition, Facebook's head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, defended the company's hands-off approach of not fact-checking political ads, and acknowledged they're struggling to deal with QAnon.

. The newspaper identified 170 QAnon groups, pages and accounts across Facebook and Instagram with more than 4.5 million aggregate followers.

"This is a place where I think we have work to do," Gleicher said."I think that the boundaries around what constitutes a QAnon site or not are pretty blurry and that becomes a challenge in all of us. It's why we're looking at this and we're exploring some additional steps that we can take."Some have raised the possibility of Trump rejecting the results of the November election should he lose.

Gleicher dodged the question, refusing to directly say whether Facebook would take action against such a post. Instead, he said that the final result is widely expected to not be settled on election night, and Facebook officials are gaming out how it might handle chaos that emerges during a prolonged vote count.
