Civil society groups press platforms to step up election integrity work

An open letter from 200+ nonprofits and research groups urges major social media platforms (Google, Meta, X, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Discord, and others) to bolster election-related content moderation in 2024, calling for regular transparency reports, expanded non‑English trust-and-safety staffing, reinstated policies against false election claims, disclosures around AI-generated political content, and accountability for influential accounts spreading misinformation; the report notes significant trust-and-safety layoffs, Meta’s sunsetting of CrowdTangle, and ongoing risks of domestic and foreign disinformation targeting marginalized communities.
