Digital Integrity in Democracy Act

Bill 119 s 840, also known as the "Accountability for Social Media Platforms Act," aims to address the issue of social media platforms hosting false election administration information. The bill specifically targets operators of social media platforms who intentionally or knowingly allow false information related to election administration to be disseminated on their platforms.

Under this legislation, these operators would be held accountable for their actions and could face penalties for their role in spreading misinformation. The bill seeks to ensure that social media platforms take responsibility for the content that is shared on their platforms, particularly when it comes to information that could impact the integrity of elections.

By holding operators accountable for hosting false election administration information, the bill aims to protect the democratic process and prevent the spread of misinformation that could influence election outcomes. This legislation is an important step towards ensuring that social media platforms are held to a higher standard when it comes to the information that is shared on their platforms.
