Facebook has started a Special Operations Center to monitor posts coming out of Ukraine amid the ongoing invasion by Russia, The Hill reports. Facebook Head of Security Nathaniel Gleicher said in a Tweet that the Special Operations Center could respond in “real-time” and is staffed by native speakers.
1/ In response to the unfolding military conflict in Ukraine, we have established a Special Operations Center to respond in real time. It is staffed by experts (including native speakers) so we can closely monitor the situation and act as fast as possible.

The company will also allow users to lock their profiles for an additional security feature. Facebook created a similar operations center for Afghanistan last year during the American withdrawal from the country.
