![]() ![]() Twitter could be making the problem worse, especially given Elon Musk gutting half the company’s staff in the last 24 hours. The services have also tried to plug some remaining holes with resource pages posting accurate information, limits on ads about political topics, or more invoking of policies forbidding certain types of harmful misinformation.īut many lies about the security of the whole system and the reliability of the general results still don’t fall under these policies, and such content often slips through moderation nets because it’s not clear what rules apply.Social networks have also put pretty expansive rules in place around lies that would stop people from voting - such as when polls close or who is eligible to cast a ballot.Many of their policies, for instance, focus on coordinated inauthentic behavior, like foreign botnets and Chinese or Russian interference campaigns. The platforms had made (some) genuine progress on the threats from 2016 or so.In short, many of the efforts from companies - including Twitter, Meta, and YouTube - to protect 2022’s elections look a lot like the measures the platforms took in 2020.
