Combating Disinformation.

Misinformation on social networks targeting Latino voters is increasing and many Latinos depend on Internet platforms for information. Pointing out that social media companies are not cracking down on incidents of disinformation, advocates are launching a “defend the Truth” campaign to train community leaders and deactivate “malicious” information affecting Latino voters.
