How your favorite social media apps are preparing for election conspiracies

With Election Day approaching, social media companies like Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube, and others are ramping up efforts to combat disinformation and foreign influence. Since the 2016 election, these platforms have been targeted by foreign actors spreading false information. Meta has invested heavily in safety and security measures, including fact-checking and labeling AI-generated content. TikTok has launched an Election Center and works with fact-checkers to label unsubstantiated content. X has been working with election officials and law enforcement to monitor and prevent deceptive accounts. YouTube is highlighting trustworthy content and providing resources for voters. Snap is offering in-app resources for voter registration, and Reddit is sharing accurate election information and hosting AMA sessions with experts. These platforms are taking steps to ensure the integrity of the election process and combat misinformation.
