There are about two dozen desks packed into a windowless room, a half-dozen screens with TV news and Twitter feeds and even more monitors lining the walls tracking trends in Facebook user behavior.

This is Facebook's first ever "War Room," designed to prevent election manipulation by improving data-sharing across the company and enabling quick decisionmaking. This roughly 900-square-foot room, which it recently showed to journalists, is a visual representation of the company's commitment to dramatically improving communication and security ahead of the U.S. midterms.
