Venice Commission :: Council of Europe
Johnson and Mr. Corbyn, the Conservative Party renamed its Twitter account factcheckUK, which it then used to push out partisan messages designed to look like independent verification. When called out, the Conservatives doubled down. His cabinet colleague Michael Gove went even further, refusing to rule out repeating the trick. This was far from an isolated incident. Johnson and his party are not the only culprits.
Pro-Labour groups that are officially separate from the campaign have spent heavily on often aggressive digital ads. Anti-Brexit tactical voting sites have been accused of misleading voters in crucial constituencies.

And it seems, at least in part, to be working. As one voter said recently, she was voting for Boris Johnson precisely because he is a proven liar. Britain has lots of regulations governing its politics, including restrictive spending limits and campaign finance transparency requirements.

But these rules are designed for a predigital age. But online political ads do not even have to carry an identifying imprint or provide more than the most cursory accounting of how money is spent.

In office, Mr. Johnson has adeptly exploited reporting conventions to spin favorable narratives. The Conservatives have also continued to benefit from an often unquestioning press. Even criticisms of such false claims serve to amplify the original message.
Making matters worse, regulators and public bodies are sitting on a number of other potentially critical inquiries into British democracy. Incitement of racial hatred, for example, would land most normal people in jail, but is allowed to proliferate on Facebook and other social media platforms paid for by politicians and their supporters.
And we are currently powerless to stop it. A year from the next elections, it is already clear this will be the most morally bankrupt campaign cycle in American history: a president mid-impeachment is grappling to stay in power by openly promoting disinformation.
9 Solutions to Secure America’s Elections
For evidence of this new corporate loophole, look no further than the Trump-sponsored Biden attack ad circulating on social media. The sooner other candidates and voters confront this reality, the better. While the director of business development at Cambridge Analytica, I learned in graphic detail their methodology of voter manipulation, which was fueled by the stolen data of millions of Facebook users.
They sent slanderous materials to people whose data showed they would only ever vote for Hillary Clinton, never Trump. Now with significantly more time and money than , these experienced players are sustaining a full-frontal assault on both Democratic candidates and the democratic process.

In traditional politics, voter suppression was more obvious: putting polling booths in far away places, allowing endless lines to convince would-be voters to give up, or even enforcing last-minute requirements of new identification for voter registration. It is vital that candidates create plans for dealing with it, and devise strategies for protecting voters.
Campaigns need to be proactive, responding to online threats within minutes, not days. I urge lawmakers and others to attend to this as immediately and as urgently as they are the impeachment process. Laws are not the only fix. Technologists need to provide systems to combat this new cyberwarfare, while our government enforces a more ethical digital landscape, before we lose our ability to have free and fair elections ever again.
Lawmakers in some states have begun to address these issues, from Senator Mark Warner federally to California Governor Gavin Newsom at the state level, but we have to work together to safeguard our ability to hold free and fair elections. Indeed, no one is going to save us from Facebook or Trump by themselves. We all have to act if we have a hope of putting back together our broken democracy.
