A shorter-than-usual US presidential election season comes to a head. Americans are going to the polls, deciding whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump should become the 47th president of the United States of America. It’s the end of an election cycle that’s already seen legal challenges and even violence, and that’s split Silicon Valley between all-in Trump fans, Harris backers, and people hedging their bets. The outcome will determine the future of everything from climate change to the measles.
While the votes are cast and counted, online platforms will be making calls about the line between valuable speech and disinformation or calls to violence. (Their owners may also be actively campaigning.) Elections watchdogs will be on the lookout for voter suppression and false information about how to vote. And we’ll be posting news about it here.
