Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday unveiled a plan to combat the spread of election-related disinformation, which proposes criminal and civil penalties for online voter suppression efforts and urges social media companies and campaigns to bolster their policies against deception.
As president, Warren said she would push to “create civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating false information about when and how to vote in U.S. elections” and to set up rules so that platforms can share data about disinformation campaigns with one another and the government “while respecting individuals’ privacy.”
“I’m sending a clear message to anyone associated with the Warren campaign: I will not tolerate the use of false information or false accounts to attack my opponents, promote my campaign, or undermine our elections,” she said. “And I urge my fellow candidates to do the same.”
