Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla have written to top tech executives including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai.
据周三发送给六家以上科技公司高管并率先由POLITICO披露的一封信件显示，来自加利福尼亚州的民主党参议员亚当·希夫和亚历克斯·帕迪拉要求社交媒体平台在11月中期选举前制定应对虚假和误导性内容的计划。
Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla of California are demanding social media platforms have plans in place to combat false and misleading content ahead of the November midterm elections, according to a letter sent Wednesday to more than half a dozen tech executives and shared first with POLITICO.
信中写道：“贵公司持续退缩，未能履行确保在线信息准确性的责任”，指的是X、Meta和YouTube等公司在近年来采取的措施，以放宽其内容审核规则。
“Your companies have continued to retreat from the responsibility of ensuring that information online is accurate,” the letter reads, referring to steps companies such as X, Meta and YouTube have taken in recent years to loosen their content moderation rules.
信中还补充道：“在这种情况下，国会别无选择，只能仔细审查社交媒体平台在2026年中期选举前后如何应对大规模选举错误信息和虚假信息，这些选举已经拉开帷幕。”
“Under the circumstances, Congress has no choice but to carefully scrutinize how social media platforms respond to large-scale election mis and disinformation, both before and after the 2026 midterm elections, which are already underway,” the letter added.
