Slack CEO @stewart said he's "skeptical" the social media companies have done enough, "but the truth is we have no real way to know."

“The first step in preventing manipulation for individuals is knowing that it may be afoot." -- Boston University law professor @daniellecitron

“Social media companies should be doing more, but are we comfortable with Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey as the arbiters of truth?” -- Redfin CEO @glennkelman

[Cat Zakrzewski @Cat_Zakrzewski]

“Fighting misinformation and online voter manipulation is not a one-time effort, it is a continuous game of cat-and-mouse,” said @hadip, one of more than 100 tech leaders we surveyed.
