TheVoiceOfJoyce To preserve our Democracy, don’t complain about the lack of accountability on Social Media Platforms. Their for profit model and Section 230 of the Communications Act, allow Social Media Platforms to be self regulating. Why should they jeopardize their profits? They’re Corporations and they’re profit driven. Social Media Platforms are not neutral. It’s been found that 3 YouTube videos promoting misinformation in Spanish & English, have 880,000 followers. That’s a lot of revenue. Misinformation on Politics, the 2020 election, vaccines and health, create distrust of government, voting and Vaccines. If you want accountability, Regulate the industry. Change Section 230 of the Communication Act. We know the problems created by Misinformation & Lies and we have a solution: Regulation. Do you want Corporations accountable for harming the Public? Brick & Mortar corporations and Technology Companies don’t regulate themselves, unless there’s a Regulatory requirement and penalties. What kind of society do we want? We have Corporate lawlessness & a profit driven model now! Are you satisfied with the status quo? If you want Corporate accountability, advocate for Regulation.

And it is continuing to spread on social media, in English and Spanish, preemptively creating doubt about legitimacy of the midterm vote and alarming experts.
