As the November election approaches, Democrats are going back to their old playbook in demanding online censorship of “misinformation.”
One member of Congress taking the initiative on that front is Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff of California.
On Tuesday, Schiff posted a news release on his website saying he “demanded answers” from social media platforms about how they plan “to address the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and potential incitement of violence on their platforms in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.”
The full letter can be found here.
Schiff and seven co-signees expressed their concern “with each of your [social media CEOs] companies’ ability to react efficiently and effectively to misinformation and disinformation, or to any potential incitement of violence occurring on your platforms.”
While the letter was sent out to CEOs of Facebook, X, TikTok, Google, Microsoft and others, Schiff also took to X on Tuesday to make a post echoing it.
Social media companies have a responsibility to protect our democracy – not enable misinformation and incitement.
With the 2024 election approaching, they must step up and enforce election integrity policies — no more rollbacks.
Our democracy is at stake.
