Since the Capitol riots, social media platforms have dramatically transformed their approach, pivoting away from earlier commitments to combat misinformation and safeguard democracy.
The social media industry’s decline in addressing misinformation reflects ongoing pressures, including budget cuts and intimidation from political figures, weakening foundational efforts to manage false information.
Misinformation has surged on these platforms, particularly highlighted during incidents such as the attempted assassination of Trump, showing a stark departure from initial response measures.
Despite having guidelines in place against misinformation, the execution of these policies has weakened significantly, demonstrating a broader shift in how platforms engage with electoral integrity.
