CISA says it will not engage in 'switchboarding' social media content removal for the 2024 election cycle and is shifting its approach from flagging specific posts to social platforms toward coordinating with tech partners and state/local election officials, directing voters to authoritative sources, and focusing on overall threats to election infrastructure. The agency still communicates observed tactics and engages publicly when necessary, but emphasizes non-content-moderation measures and rapid local response (e.g., the New Hampshire AI robocall incident) to combat disinformation.
