Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva said in a Saturday video that no social media platforms have agreed to remove false material about voting or candidates. She cannot always distinguish forwarded synthetic video from real footage, unlike her children. She blamed the climate on Trumps first term portrayal of the press as untrustworthy and noted fewer outlets now seem impartial because opinions get dismissed as partisan.

Twelve days earlier she signed a letter with Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asking Mark Zuckerberg how quickly Meta removes AI political content on its apps and how much it has taken down since January 2025 versus prior years, after ending third-party fact-checking and cutting automated filters. They requested a reply by September 18.
