Meta’s initiatives during the 2024 elections focused on safeguarding electoral integrity and promoting informed voter participation across major democracies, including the US, EU, and India. By refining content policies, deploying voting reminders, and addressing the challenges of AI and foreign interference, Meta underscores its commitment to balancing free expression with user safety in public discourse.

In 2024, Meta has actively engaged in monitoring and enhancing the integrity of elections globally, culminating in the US presidential election. With approximately two billion voters participating in elections across major democracies, including India and the European Union, Meta recognizes its obligation to foster free discourse while safeguarding user safety. The company has refined its election strategies since 2016 to adapt to emerging threats, backed by a dedicated team across various departments committed to ensuring electoral integrity.

Meta’s election operations centers monitored the electoral landscape in key regions, including the US, India, and the EU, enabling timely responses to potential issues. The balance between safeguarding user expression and maintaining security continues to be a primary focus, with updates made to policies to better protect users’ voices while enforcing guidelines against harmful content. Measures have included the introduction of political content controls, clearer distinctions between permissible discussions and potentially inciting violence, and a fairer penalties system to promote free expression.

As an effort to inform users about voting, in-app notifications were prominently featured on Facebook and Instagram, engaging millions with essential details about registration and election processes. Beyond the US, these notifications have reached substantial audiences in the EU, India, and Brazil, illustrating Meta’s commitment to facilitating informed voting. Meta has also implemented transparency for political ads, maintaining a publicly accessible Ad Library to ensure user awareness regarding the authorship and funding of promotional content related to elections.

Amid concerns regarding the impact of generative AI, Meta reported limited instances of AI misuse during the election period, affirming that existing content moderation policies effectively minimized risks associated with deepfakes and disinformation. The company actively collaborated with industry peers to confront the challenges posed by AI in election discourse, further enhancing its proactive stance against foreign interference.

Moreover, efforts to dismantle covert influence operations, particularly those orchestrated by foreign entities, have led Meta to take down numerous networks engaging in deceptive practices. The company’s actions against propaganda sources, notably from Russia, underscore its ongoing commitment to preserving election integrity. As elections continue to evolve, Meta remains vigilant in assessing threats and adapting its policies, endeavoring to strike a vital balance between enabling free expression and ensuring a secure electoral environment.

The 2024 global elections presented a unique challenge for Meta, a company that handles vast public discourse. With predictions of up to two billion voters participating across significant democracies, there was heightened scrutiny on the company’s role in protecting user expression while safeguarding against misinformation and foreign interference. Since 2016, Meta has been refining its approach to elections, cultivating a robust framework that encompasses diverse teams dedicated to implementing election integrity measures on its platforms.

In summary, Meta’s vigilant efforts during the 2024 global elections reflect a commitment to ensuring electoral integrity while fostering free expression. From updating content policies and launching political controls to deploying robust notification systems to educate voters, Meta has adopted multifaceted strategies. The company’s proactive measures against disinformation and foreign influence operations further illustrate its dedication to secure and fair electoral processes. Looking forward, Meta will continue to evolve its policies to adapt to ongoing challenges in the electoral landscape.
