Facebook Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg said the U.S. presidential election Nov. 3 will be a test of four years of work and adjustment by the social network to root out foreign interference, voter suppression, calls for violence and more.

“Next week will certainly be a test for Facebook,” the chief executive officer said on a conference call Thursday to discuss quarterly earnings. “Election integrity is and will be an ongoing challenge. And I’m proud of the work that we have done here.”
