Like it014 Archivesnot, Facebook has an impact on politics. The social network contributed to President Donald Trump's successful election, as much as CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to lessen the blame on the rise of fake news.
SEE ALSO: Facebook's new 'Trending Topics' update is here — now with less fake newsMore recently, Zuckerberg started to acknowledge Facebook's role in politics, and on Monday the social network introduced its most impactful feature yet.
Facebook officially released a tool Monday that lets its users — all desktop and mobile users in the U.S. — easily contact their local officials. It's called "Town Hall," reminiscent of what Facebook likes to see itself as, especially in political discussion.
Here's how it works:

It's a good move by Facebook and follows with Zuckerberg's plan to increase civil engagement. Indeed, Zuckerberg has dedicated his 2017 to traveling to every state in America, rather than prioritize trips overseas.
The feature is integrated into the Facebook News Feed. If you choose to like or comment on a post by one of your local representatives, you'll see a way to contact your representative after the post.

It's far from Facebook's first move into helping with political advocacy. Facebook released a feature in October 2016 to explain what's on users' ballots and where their candidates stand.
