<p>We have a tradition of robust political debate and freedom of speech in our democracy.
Policy or political arguments - both online and offline - which can be rebutted by
rival campaigners or the press as part of the normal course of political debate should
not be regulated. It is a matter for voters to decide whether they consider such arguments/claims
to be accurate.</p><p>The new digital imprints regime, introduced by the Elections
Act 2022, will increase the transparency of digital political advertising, by requiring
those promoting eligible digital campaigning material targeted at the UK electorate
to include an imprint with their name and address.</p><p>We are working to ensure
we are ready to respond to the full range of threats to our democratic processes,
including through the Defending Democracy Taskforce, and the Government regularly
meets with social media companies to understand the policies and processes they have
in place.</p>
