The USA might lose a #generation of #scientists because of an #ignorant #administration's #slashing of #science #budgets & #staffs.

Social media injunction unravels plans to protect 2024 elections

A July 4 #injunction that places extraordinary #limits on the #government’s #communications with tech companies #undermines initiatives to harden social media companies against #election #interference, civil rights groups, academics and tech industry insiders say.

After companies and the federal government spent years expanding efforts to combat online falsehoods in the wake of Russian interference on the platforms during the 2016 election, the ruling is just the latest sign of the pendulum swinging in the other direction.

Tech companies are #gutting their #content #moderation #staffs, researchers are pulling back from studying disinformation and key government communications with Silicon Valley are on pause amid unprecedented political scrutiny.

With voting in the 2024 primaries just months away, tech companies also are facing new #election #threats as leaps in #artificial #intelligence give bad actors new tools to create fake videos, photos and ads.
