Facebook is making it harder for certain men to cheat, according to the social media company’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.

As part of a trip to Williston, N.D., Zuckerberg met with a number of people who moved to the town for the available hydraulic fracturing (fracking) jobs. The opportunities for employment triggered a huge influx of would-be workers, but most were men. In fact, the disparity between genders was as high at 30 men to one woman at one point, according to Zuckerberg. The ratio has since fallen to 10 to one, still a severely imbalanced proportion.

Men and women — some of whom live in another city or state — come into the town to work on the drilling rigs, usually for a two week period. Many then go home for a two week break before returning for more work. (RELATED: One Small North Dakota Town Taught Mark Zuckerberg Exactly Why Donald Trump Is President)

“The women I met said they feel safe, but they had unique stories,” Zuckerberg wrote Tuesday, adding that “some told me about finding out their boyfriends had families back home” through the social media platform.

Zuckerberg said he received gratitude from many of the women for making it “harder for these men to live double lives.” While the situation in Williston is not very common, Facebook can be utilized by others for the same purpose.

The trip to the small North Dakota town is not out of the ordinary for the tech wunderkind. Zuckerberg is currently embarking on a tour across America, visiting parts of the country to which he has never been. (RELATED: Zuckerberg Seems To Be Doing A Better Job Of Campaigning Than Hillary)

While exploring a Wisconsin family farm at the end of April, he participated in a number of different activities for the first time, including driving a 70-year-old tractor, feeding a calf and trying unpasteurized milk straight from a cow. Zuckerberg was also invited to eat dinner with a family in Ohio around that time. He specifically asked his staff to arrange a dinner with Democrats who voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, eventually finding a man who reportedly voted for former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, but campaigned heavily for Trump.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
