Social Media Regulation Proposals and Senator Mark Warner
Senator Mark Warner drafted a policy paper proposing new regulations for social media firms, including mandatory identity verification and bot labeling. The proposal suggests defining popular technology platforms as "essential facilities" to subject them to government oversight. These moves are viewed by some as an attempt to regulate political speech ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
