“- We will also require people who manage large pages to be verified as well. This will make it much harder for people to run pages using fake accounts... - In order to require verification for all of these pages and advertisers, we will hire thousands of more people.”

Moments Ago: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg arrives on Capitol Hill for meetings before his first day of testimony tomorrow. http://cnbc.com/... http://twitter.com/...
Most of Zuckerberg's prepared testimony is a rehash of his conference call remarks and blog posts, but Fb shutting down Russian Fancy Bear trolls before the 2016 election is new http://techcrunch.com/...
The Zuck testimony is live. Expect to hear this line a lot over the next three days: “We didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility” http://docs.house.gov/... pic.twitter.com/Mf0dHxOirK
in mark zuckerberg's testimony he mentions Facebook is going to “invest so much in security — on top of the other investments we're making — that it will significantly impact our profitability.”
Zuck steps up: “There's no question that we should have spotted Russian interference earlier, and we're working hard to make sure it doesn't happen again.” “We have a responsibility to make sure what happened with Kogan and Cambridge Analytica doesn't happen again.”
Zuckerberg in his prepared testimony: “We were too slow to spot and respond to Russian interference, and we're working hard to get better. Our sophistication in handling these threats is growing and improving quickly.” http://www.cnbc.com/...
