Create a task force to study how fake social media accounts affect elections and public conversation.
The problem
Automated fake accounts on social media may spread false information, manipulate public opinion, and interfere with elections. The full scope and impact are not well understood.
The proposal
Direct the FTC to establish a task force that investigates how automated accounts influence social media, public discourse, and electoral processes.
The impact
Social media companies, election officials, voters, and the public may be affected by findings that could lead to new regulations or guidelines for handling automated accounts.
A formal study would provide concrete data on how fake accounts harm elections and public conversation. This information could help protect democracy and inform voters about manipulation tactics.
Clear findings could guide policymakers in creating rules to combat automated disinformation. This addresses a growing concern about foreign and domestic interference in elections.
An official investigation shows government is taking the problem seriously. Public awareness of findings could help citizens identify and resist false information.
The bill only creates a study group, not expensive enforcement programs. Costs would be limited to staff time and research expenses.
Creating a task force only studies the problem; it does not guarantee laws or enforcement will follow. The findings could sit unused or face resistance from powerful companies.
Investigating automated accounts might require accessing private user data or platform information. This could raise questions about surveillance and government overreach.
Studies take time to complete and analyze. Election threats may evolve faster than a committee can study them, making findings outdated.
Social media companies may face demands to provide data or submit to audits. These compliance costs could eventually be passed to users or advertisers.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
