While there are still lessons to be learned from how the Russians used the social platform to sow discord ahead of America's 2016 presidential election, critics say Facebook — and Zuckerberg — aren't acting quickly enough to prevent meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.
"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened," said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google. His work centers on how technology can ethically steer the thoughts and actions of the masses on social media and he's been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience" by The Atlantic magazine.

They mentioned one. Proportional voting. Another good one is approval voting.

Theoretical ones don't count. Still waiting for an actual example of a better system.

There are some countries with proportional representation. Like New Zealand and Germany.
Many in NZ complain about it - e.g. harder for government to get stuff passed, but I'd call that a feature especially when the country already has plenty of existing laws and regulations which mostly work.
