Digital Integrity in Democracy Act

The Digital Integrity in Democracy Act (S 840) amends Section 230 of the Communications Act to create a limited exception to social media platform liability protection. It requires large platforms (with ≥25 million U.S. monthly users) to remove "false election administration information" within 24-48 hours after receiving a valid complaint - defined as objectively incorrect facts about election timing, location, voter eligibility, or penalties, but excluding political speech about candidates or parties. Platforms face $50,000 fines per violation for failing to remove such content, with enforcement by the Attorney General, states, or candidates. The law applies only to factual misinformation about election administration, not opinions or political advocacy.
