Facebook said a "war room" set up to defend the social network from abuses aimed at influencing elections in Brazil and the US has gone quiet. 

With voting done in those countries, Facebook confirmed that it will widen its focus to other parts of the world with upcoming elections where the initiative is deemed necessary.
