WASHINGTON — The Justice Department remains committed to sharing with social media companies information that it picks up about efforts by foreign governments to influence this year's elections,Speaking at the American Bar Association's annual meeting, Monaco, the department's No.

The speech is to be given at the ABA's Democracy Summit in Chicago, with Monaco reminding the audience of lawyers of their obligation to uphold the rule of law and promote faith in election integrity. The department this week also made public for the first time a series of procedures the FBI uses for deciding when to share information with social media companies about threats to their platforms. That step was encouraged in a recent report by the Justice Department inspector general.

Under the procedures, the FBI may be in touch with companies when it identifies activities on a platform being conducted by or on behalf of a foreign government to support an influence operation or there are specific and credible facts showing the activity can be attributed to a foreign government. The procedures state that the FBI must make clear that it is not asking the social media company to take any action and that the company is under no obligation to do so.
