Will the United States Get Involved in the Formulation of Rules for Large-scale Technology Platforms to Issue Campaign Ads? Will the United States Get Involved in the Formulation of Rules for Large-scale Technology Platforms to Issue Campaign Ads?

No.

It is difficult for the United States to introduce any substantive regulations against technology giants, even the most promising bill to protect user privacy.

On one hand, the contradictions between the two parties cannot be bridged. After Twitter tightened rules for political election ads, Democrats in favor of tougher restrictions on tech companies cheered. On the contrary, Republicans prefer more relaxed regulation. After Google announced that it would not allow political ads for specific groups, the Republicans in the House and Senate called for the policy to be abolished.

On the other hand, the US government needs to ensure the public's freedom of speech is not violated, which allows Twitter and Google to monitor their platforms as needed.
