People directly involved in campaigns can provide more security controls to detect active threats and suspicious activity, such as hacking and phishing, as well as Google’s Advanced Protection Program, which provides more guarantees to G Suite and Gmail users during election season.
Finally, recent policy updates included banning illegally transmitted classified ads and adding more data on classified election classified ads on Google’s platform to its report on the transparency of classified political ads.

Meanwhile, YouTube continues to remove content that violates its hate speech policies and deceptive practices, adding content that contains hacked data that can interfere with the democratic process, such as data about a political candidate.
Content intended to obstruct or disrupt voting procedures, such as videos asking the audience to create long queues to make voting more complicated for others, is also covered. You’ll see a fact-made dashboard, adding your party affiliation, your official YouTube channel and your official channel.

YouTube Vice President for Government Affairs and Public Policy Leslie Miller wrote in a blog post: “On YouTube, we try to be a position where a wide diversity of voices can be heard. This is especially vital when we come together in the democratic process, which is why our google and YouTube group charts 24 hours a day to make sure we have a vital balance between openness and responsibility… Our tables allow us to provide access to useful services, authoritative information, prevent abuse of our systems and link with creators from a wide variety of points of view and will continue well beyond the next Election Day ».
