According to the book, titled \u201cAn Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook\u2019s Battle for Domination,\u201d the social media giant noticed interference eight months before the polls opened.<\/p>\n<p>The authors wrote that the security team had \u201cuncovered information that no one, including the U.S. government, had previously known.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PRECIOUS CARGO:<\/p>\n<p>Our book is in my hands!
