This resolution expresses the Senate's concerns about the spread of false information, propaganda, and disinformation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and calls for coordinated action to address it. The measure identifies threats from multiple sources, including disinformation campaigns by the Chinese and Russian governments, domestic politicians spreading false narratives, and coordinated inauthentic activity on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. The resolution affects social media companies, Latin American governments, U.S. federal agencies, and civil society organizations working on media literacy and fact-checking in the region. Rather than proposing new funding, the resolution calls on existing U.S. agencies—including the State Department, the Agency for International Development, and the Agency for Global Media—to strengthen their efforts to support independent media, counter foreign disinformation campaigns, and promote digital literacy in the region. The measure emphasizes the need for coordination among stakeholders and calls for a high-level summit and other initiatives to address these challenges, though it does not establish a specific timeline for implementation.
