Democratic lawmakers demand social media enhance ‘misinformation’ protections

Democratic lawmakers demand social media enhance ‘misinformation’ protections
SHARE

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff issued a letter to main social media executives this week demanding they reveal how they’ll fight “misinformation” and “disinformation” within the 2024 election. 

The letter, co-signed by seven different members of Congress, accuses social media platforms similar to X, Fb, Instagram, and TikTok of failing to correctly put together for malicious info-hazards in November. 

“We write to your platforms as concerned Members of Congress, seeking further information about your preparation for and response to the spread of misinformation and disinformation, or the potential incitement of violence on your platforms leading up to the 2024 elections,” the California congressman wrote. “We have already seen how posts with disinformation have spread on the major social media platforms both in the United States and across the globe during election cycles.”

The letter continued, “We continue to be concerned with each of your companies’ ability to react efficiently and effectively to misinformation and disinformation, or to any potential incitement of violence occurring on your platforms.”

Within the letter, the signers accused social platforms Meta, Discord, and Snap particularly of “[reducing] their elections team dramatically” following the 2022 elections.

X, Meta, and TikTok had been singled out and scolded for having “not increased their transparency for external groups who can aid in monitoring election information.”

“While the impetus of this letter is the 2024 election, political and election-related mis- and disinformation persists even between elections, so we are also urging your companies to commit to taking action on election and political misinformation year-round, not just in the leadup to elections.”

A sequence of particular questions are supplied on the finish of the letter, together with “Will your company be changing your election integrity policies between now and the 2024 U.S. general election?” and “How will your company be more transparent in enforcement of its community guidelines regarding election integrity and transparent with the public about actions it has taken?”

“Will your company commit to sharing data and metrics on the effectiveness of your enforcement systems in relation to US elections and political speech?” the Democratic congress members requested. “How will your company address mis- and disinformation made by political actors or verified accounts, and how will they be treated differently, if at all, compared to ordinary users?”

The letter was co-signed by Democratic Representatives Julia Brownley of California, Andre Carson of Indiana, Dan Goldman of New York, Robert Garcia of California, Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona, Hank Johnson of Georgia and Doris Matsui of California.

It was addressed to the next executives: Mark Zuckerberg, Meta; Linda Yaccarino, X; Shou Zi Chew, TikTok; Sundar Pichai, Google; Adam Mosseri, Instagram; Evan Spiegel, Snap; Neal Mohan, YouTube; Satya Nadella, Microsoft.
