Election misinformation is a problem in any language.

But some gets more attention than others

By DAVID KLEPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Warnings
about deepfakes and disin-
formation fueled by artificial
intelligence. Concerns about
campaigns and candidates
using social media to spread
lies about elections. Fears that
tech companies will fail to ad-
dress these issues as their plat-
forms are used to undermine
democracy ahead of pivotal
elections.
Those are the worries facing
elections in the U.S., where most
voters speak English. But for lan-
guages like Spanish, or in dozens
of nations where English isn’t the
dominant language, there are
even fewer safeguards in place
to protect voters and democ-
racy against the corrosive ef-
fects of election misinformation.
It’s a problem getting renewed
attention in an election year in
which more people than ever
will go to the polls.
