Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has come under scrutiny for Facebook’s lack of monitoring false\u00a0content.\u00a0\u00a0GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Media Claims Increased<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the 2020 presidential election just months away, attention has turned to the role of social media<\/a> in the spreading of misinformation and propaganda. How far should Facebook, YouTube<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a> go to put a halt to false information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook<\/a> has given approval for political campaigns to hire social media \u201cinfluencers\u201d to promote their candidates. This is called \u201cbranded content.\u201d It\u2019s an ad without looking exactly like an ad. Michael Bloomberg\u2019s\u00a0campaign<\/a>\u00a0had Instagram influencers post endorsements. Instagram is owned by Facebook. Before Bloomberg\u2019s influencer posts, there was no rule on Facebook regulating branded content. And with Bloomberg<\/a> spending\u00a0$7 million<\/a>\u00a0dollars a day on his campaign, the amount of branded content he might achieve is staggering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Social<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These branded content posts won\u2019t be found in Facebook\u2019s listing of political ads. This listing allows journalists and investigative watchdog groups to view political campaign advertising content. Therefore, they may get posted without being monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more lenient the rules are for posting political content, the more social media is open to propaganda from foreign governments and other sources. In 2016, Facebook was infiltrated by Russian accounts, sowing discord amongst members in an attempt to sway the presidential election. Facebook\u2019s response was to require campaigns to give their US mailing address and state how much they spent on each ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube<\/a>\u00a0announced a ban of content that has been manipulated in \u201ca way that misleads users…and may pose a risk of egregious harm.\u201d However, they will still allow video clips taken out of context. They are also banning false information about the voting process, with an example of viewers being given an incorrect voting date. In addition, they are banning videos that claim that a candidate is not eligible for office due to false information on his or her citizenship \u2014 so called\u00a0\u201cbirther\u201d<\/a>\u00a0content. YouTube states that their Intelligence Desk was formed in 2018 to pinpoint inappropriate and harmful content, and also work with Google<\/a>\u2019s Threat Analysis Group. YouTube is owned by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
