Leaders at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are confident in the protections of election infrastructure for the upcoming 2024 elections, citing significant security improvements since 2016.
CISA will not petition social media platforms to remove false posts about elections this cycle, marking a departure from previous practices of engaging in content moderation discussions with tech companies.
CISA Director Jen Easterly emphasized that their current mission focuses on collaboration with partners regarding threats to election infrastructure rather than content removal from social media platforms.
CISA's previous approach included sharing election misinformation reports with social media for moderation, but this has changed due to lawsuits and a narrowed focus on overall security threats.
