"The Triumph of Trump's Allies in the Disinformation War"

Three years after the Capitol Hill riot, Trump and his allies have successfully countered efforts to filter election lies online, leading to fewer checks on the intentional spread of misinformation about elections on social media platforms. Their claims of censorship have derailed attempts to hold social media companies accountable, recasting bipartisan projects as conspiracies and influencing the Biden administration to largely abandon moves that might stifle political speech. This has paved the way for Trump's attempt to recapture the presidency by fueling his comeback with falsehoods about the 2020 election.
