What are US voters being shown on social media about the midterm elections?
Ahead of the US midterm elections, the BBC's disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring set up a series of social media accounts to investigate what voters are being recommended online.
According to the the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), there has been an uptick in hate and disinformation ahead of the elections.
"That, when combined with social media product features and failed policies, is giving permission to more hate and vitriol," said Jiore Craig, the ISD's Head of Elections and Digital Integrity.
In particular, the ISD found election conspiracy theories in short-form video formats across several platforms. Social media companies have "inconsistent and insufficient moderation policies" to deal with this kind of content, its research concludes.
