Ethics panel warns House members not to share fake images
The House Ethics Committee is warning lawmakers not to share doctored images or videos that could “erode public trust, effect public discourse, or sway an election,” guidance that comes during a proliferation of online misinformation in the run-up to the 2020 elections.
In a memo sent to House members Tuesday, the committee said lawmakers or staffers could be found in violation of House ethics rules and subject to disciplinary proceedings for posting content intended to mislead the public.
“Members have a duty, and a First Amendment right, to contribute to the public discourse,” the authors of the memo wrote. “However, manipulation of images and videos that are intended to mislead the public can harm that discourse and reflect discreditably on the House.”
