Facebook and Twitter are engaged in the campaign to stop the propaganda amid the growing threat of foreign interference in the presidential election to be held in the US on November 3. Both of these social media platforms have announced several measures.

On Thursday, Facebook has announced such centers from which American voters will be able to easily get accurate information related to the election. While Twitter has tightened its rules to curb the spread of false news about voting through the mail. These steps have been announced at a time when these social media platforms are being criticized for preventing false news. It was accused of being the medium of spreading false news in the 2016 presidential election.

Twitter's Vice President Jessica Herrera Flanigan said "We are focused on empowering every voter with new policies". Meanwhile, Facebook started the Voting Information Center. Naomi Gleight, vice president of this social media platform, said, 'The voting information center will be available on Facebook and Instagram. It is very important that we are helping to maintain the sanctity of our elections. During the last week of July, top Republican lawmakers raised concerns about the role of Chinese social media app Tiktok in the election. It had expressed fears that China may influence the election using this app. Recently, American intelligence agencies also issued a warning that China, Russia, and Iran can interfere in the elections.
