Countering disinformation, propaganda, and misinformation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and calling for multi-stakeholder efforts to address the significant detrimental effects that the rise in disinformation, propaganda, and misinformation in regional information environments has on democratic governance, human rights, and United States national interests.

This House resolution (HRES 1471) condemns disinformation campaigns by foreign actors like Russia, China, and Venezuela in Latin America and the Caribbean, and calls for multi-stakeholder action to protect democratic governance and human rights. It directly urges social media companies to improve Spanish-language content moderation, boost fact-checking partnerships, and increase transparency, while requesting regional governments strengthen independent media and coordinate anti-disinformation efforts. The resolution also asks U.S. agencies to expand support for media literacy, public diplomacy, and cross-platform cooperation to counter disinformation, without creating new laws or imposing penalties. It focuses on concrete policy steps like better detection of non-English disinformation and bolstering local fact-checking initiatives.
