San Francisco: Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook has warned there could be civil unrest as votes are tallied in a US election that will be “a test” for the social network, NDTV reported quoting AFP.

“Given this, companies like ours need to go well beyond what we’ve done before,” he is reported to have said.

“While next week will be a test for Facebook, I am proud of the work we have done here,” AFP quoted Zuckerberg as saying.

“I also know that our work doesn’t stop after November 3rd,” Zuckerberg said.
