While mainstream [[fake news]] media are allowed to churn baseless scandals and smears in an [[October Surprise]], President Trump will be restricted from responding.

[[File:Zuck.jpeg|right|250px|thumb|Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg: openly complicit in the Marxist coup plot to subvert American's [[constitutional rights]].]]
In August 2020 it was reported that Facebook was planning for the possibility that President Trump or his campaign could try to challenge mail in ballot election results. ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported that staffers were already putting together contingency plans in the event Trump tries to use Facebook to dispute the vote by declaring the [[U.S. Postal Service]] lost mail-in ballots or that other groups interfered with the vote. Facebook officials, including [[CEO]] [[Mark Zuckerberg]], were holding daily meetings to discuss how to minimize the platform from being used to cast doubts on the results.
The Times noted that one plan would include a “kill switch” to shut down political ads after Election Day. The company officials believe the ads, which Facebook does not check for truthfulness, could be used to disseminate misinformation.
The newspaper said [[YouTube]] and [[Twitter]] also discussed their own plans if the postelection period becomes problematic.<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/politics/facebook-election-results-dispute-social-media/2020/08/21/id/983301/</ref> Michael Anton of the ''American Mind'' observed, "Once the ruling class gives word that the narrative is “Trump lost,” all the president’s social media accounts will be suspended. The T.V. channels, with the likely exception of Fox News, will refuse to cover anything he says. Count on it. He’s going to need a way to talk to the American people and he has to find the means, now."<ref>https://americanmind.org/essays/the-coming-coup/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/uPNXOFDqD0Q?list=PLNEPP7NLqujVX_zxZbDLeb3zNMjwgjhZB</ref>
Jessica Hertz, a former Associate General Counsel of Regulatory Matters at Facebook, joined the "transition team" of Joe Biden in September 2020. During Hertz’s tenure at the company, Facebook was embroiled in a host of controversies where conservatives – including President Trump – saw their content [[censor]]ed and, in some cases, de-platformed. Hertz worked in the Obama [[White House]] from 2009 to 2014, where, from 2012 to 2014 she served as Principal Deputy Counsel to then-Vice President Biden. She’s also donated over $5,000 to Democratic candidates since the 2016 election cycle, with $2,000 funneled directly to the Biden campaign.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/biden-facebook-team/</ref>
