> "Part of that culture means we need to take a pretty heavy hand when people violate that trust," he says, threatening to fire leakers. He said someone was already fired for leaking this week.
> Zuckerberg just tried to address the question from FB employees on if the company has a plan in place if Trump uses the platform to invalidate election results.

> Zuckerberg says he doesn't think there will be a result by the end of election night because of the volume of votes via vote-by-mail. He says they have a responsibility to maintain election integrity between when votes are cast and when election results are announced.
> He still didn't quite address the question. Employees wanted to specifically know what would happen if Trump declared on Facebook that the election results were invalid. That was not specifically or totally addressed.
