ā¢ A bipartisan advisory panel convened under President Bidenās techāregulation agenda delivered a draft report recommending that Congress ban politically targeted digital ads that spread āclearly false or misleading informationā about voting procedures, candidates, or ballot access. ā¢ The panel, whose members include former FEC commissioners and civilārights leaders, argues that such ads undermine trust in elections and disproportionately affect voters of color, urging platforms to adopt stricter labeling and adālibrary rules. ā¢ The proposal sparks backlash from freeāspeech advocates, who warn that any governmentādefined standard for political misinformation could chill legitimate debate and benefit incumbent parties.
