Adam Schiff Calls For Censorship of Social Media Ahead of Election

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is urging social media companies to strengthen their efforts against the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and the incitement of political violence in the run-up to the 2024 election.

Schiff, a central figure in the debunked “Russia collusion” scandal that mired the first Trump administration in a multi-year controversy, has sent a letter to major tech companies requesting details on their plans to mitigate these issues ahead of Election Day, which is just 34 days away.

The letter was addressed to Meta (formerly Facebook), Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Google/YouTube, Snapchat, and Microsoft. It was co-signed by seven other House members, all Democrats.
