US government stops warning social media networks about foreign disinformation campaigns

The US government has decided to stop notifying social media platforms, such as Meta and Pinterest, about global influence campaigns that involve foreign disinformation. This change in approach comes after a federal judge's ruling in July, which limited the administration's coordination with tech companies in response to a lawsuit claiming First Amendment violations. While there is a need to address the deliberate spread of damaging disinformation, some concerns have been raised about the federal government potentially having too much control over social media content, particularly during election periods.
