The bill aims to strengthen voting rights protections by carving out a narrow exception to Section 230 immunity for social media platforms that intentionally mislead voters and amplify election-related misinformation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAcross the country, voting rights are under attack. We see that very clearly on social media, where carefully orchestrated campaigns target voters with false information in an effort to keep them from the ballot box. But social media platforms have been reluctant to intervene and remove this false information, letting these harmful lies live online. They need a reality check,\u201d <strong>said Senator Welch<\/strong>. \u201cOur bill seeks to hold social media platforms accountable for intentionally hosting false election administration information to ensure every voter can fairly participate in our democracy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFree and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. While election disinformation is not new, emerging technologies make it easier to deceive Americans about how to exercise their right to vote,\u201d\u202f<strong>said Senator Klobuchar<\/strong>.\u202f\u201cThis legislation will combat efforts intended to disenfranchise voters by holding social media companies accountable for allowing false information on their platforms about voting like when and where to cast a ballot.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe must crack down on the spread of false information about our elections,\u201d <strong>dijo el senador Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cPreserving a government \u2018of, by, and for the people\u2019 depends on protecting voters from the quick, easy spread of misinformation on social media that can jeopardize their right to vote.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFalsehoods posted on social media about the time, place and manner of an election, and lies about voter eligibility requirements, are spread with the intent to suppress voter turnout,\u201d <strong>said Senator Luj\u00e1n<\/strong>. \u201cI&#8217;m proud to cosponsor the <em>Digital Integrity in Democracy Act<\/em>, legislation that would hold large-scale social media companies accountable for removing these types of election falsities. This is a reasonable, balanced approach to protecting voters and our democracy, while also protecting free speech online.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cDisinformation about elections on social media platforms is a threat to our democracy and to right of all Americans to make their voices heard in our elections,\u201d <strong>dijo el senador Hirono<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m glad to join Senator Welch and our colleagues in introducing this legislation to hold social media companies accountable for election disinformation shared on their platforms.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>El <em>Digital Integrity in Democracy Act <\/em>is endorsed by Common Cause and Stand Up America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAll voters deserve access to trusted information about our elections. However, when social media companies knowingly allow and amplify false election information on their platforms, voters are left in the dark,\u201d <strong>said Ishan Mehta, Common Cause\u2019s Media and Democracy Program Director<\/strong>. \u201cCommon Cause thanks Senator Welch for introducing the Digital Integrity in Democracy Act to ensure that voters can get trusted information about elections when making their voices heard, and we encourage Congress to quickly pass this legislation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cSocial media is a public square where we should be able to have open and honest conversations. It\u2019s how we share information and where voters turn to find crucial information about the election. As we get closer to\u202fNovember 5th, we must ensure the information that voters are seeing across all social media platforms is accurate,\u201d\u202f<strong>said Dayanita Ramesh, Social Media director at Stand Up America.\u202f<\/strong>\u201cSocial media companies have an obligation to prevent and stop objectively false election information if they care at all about the fate of our democracy instead of their own personal interests and what they stand to gain.
