Less than a year after Mark Zuckerberg derided the idea that his social network might have shocking sex videoany serious impact on the U.S. election, Facebook announced that it will donate money to cybersecurity education efforts as well as a new project to ensure election security.
Facebook's chief security officer, Alex Stamos, announced the new funding on Wednesday at Black Hat USA, the largest conference dedicated to cybersecurity.
Facebook will put $1 million toward funding "to encourage original defensive research," Stamos said in a blog post accompanying his talk. The company will make additional donations for "scholarships and programs that help expand the diversity of the security workforce."

Facebook is also now the "founding sponsor" of the Defending Digital Democracy Project, which will operate at Harvard University to "better secure elections and other democratic processes through collaboration and information sharing."
Wednesday's announcement is only the most recent in a series of moves from Facebook that address a variety of the critiques hurled at the social network following the 2016 U.S. election. It's a stark reversal from when Zuckerberg called the notion that Facebook could influence the election a "crazy idea." Since then, Facebook has taken a variety of steps to address misinformation on its platform.
Stamos pointed to two problems that he sees in the world of cybersecurity: A lack of focus on defense, and a lack of diversity.
"The security community needs more diverse people, backgrounds, and thought to live up to our potential," Stamos said in the blog post.
