State Department Cancels Meetings with Facebook About Election Preparation

One day after a Louisiana federal judge set limits on the Biden administration’s communications with tech firms, the State Department canceled its regular meeting with Facebook officials to discuss 2024 election preparations and hacking threats, according to a person at the company. State Department officials told Facebook that all future meetings, which had been held monthly, have been “canceled pending further guidance,” said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preserve working relationships.
