Democratic state lawmakers are proposing laws to curb “misinformation” on social media sites and other online platforms, mirroring efforts by Democrats in Congress.
“Social media algorithms are specially programmed to spread disinformation and hate speech at the expense of the public good,” said New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman, who announced a bill Monday aimed at preventing social media companies from promoting “false” or “fraudulent” content that could endanger the public. “The prioritization of this type of content has real life costs to public health and safety.”
