In the year 2018, Facebook tested out a new feature called Facebook protect. It was first rolled to the US users in the year 2020 by considering the US elections. After its successful release in the US it began rolling out globally in September 2021.
What is a Facebook Protect?
Facebook protect is a security feature that allows users to protect their Facebook account from hackers. This feature helps those with high followers like Politicians, Celebrities and government officials. These are accounts that are highly targeted by hackers due to their public reach.
In a statement Facebook claims that Facebook allows the high profile users to protect their account with the help of two-factor authentication.
