John,

You’ve probably seen examples of how our online information environment is often flooded with false, harmful, or damaging content. And over the last couple of years, our elections have been a target for this kind of content.

The expansion of AI capabilities and its proliferation on unregulated social media platforms has left our information environment exposed to a variety of actors eager to plant false information with the goal of creating chaos and confusing the public.

At the frontlines of all this are our nation’s election officials. They’re bearing the brunt and their ever-expanding responsibilities now include correcting the deluge of false information and monitoring threats of physical violence. Instead of supporting local election officials, social media companies have actively reduced their capacity to flag and stop the spread of false information on their platforms.

Join us on Friday, June 7 at 12pm ET to hear directly from technology experts and current and former election officials about how the information landscape has changed over the past few election cycles, the implications of a pending Supreme Court case that could further complicate coordination between public officials and private companies, and what social media companies should do in the short and long term to slow the spread of false narratives.

Hope to see you there,
The Issue One Team
