Answer:
-Less than a year before the 2022 presidential elections in the Philippines, problems with social media platforms have only gotten worse. They included fake accounts, hate speech, and disinformation.
-The gaps in the platforms’ policies continue to threaten the electoral process, as harmful content and falsehoods are expected to increase during election season.
-Tech platforms vowed to help secure the integrity of the Philippine elections, but to date their actual plans are not known and have yet to be scrutinized. This is crucial as the country witnessed firsthand the weaponization of social media starting in 2016.
