Crack Down on Russian Spanish-Language Disinformation

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators is urging the CEOs of Meta, Twitter, and Telegram to do a better job of moderating propsaganda and disinformation from Russian state media services RT en Español and Sputnik Mundo.

The request came in a letter the Senators sent to the Big Tech CEOs in late July.

“As Putin’s regime takes increasingly draconian measures to prevent its own citizens from accessing the truth, by blocking social media and stamping out any remaining semblance of independent media in the country, Russian state media continues to exploit the platforms provided by Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram to amplify and export its lies abroad,” the senators wrote.
