Defense Department would plan how to verify its public online content.
A new bill would require the Defense Department to create a plan by June 2026 to better verify its public online content. This plan would help make sure the public can trust the information coming from the military. It would also involve working with outside experts to align with the best ways to track digital content.
Today, there is no specific law requiring the Department of Defense to create a plan or put in place standards for verifying its public digital content. After this bill, the Secretary of Defense would be required to develop a detailed plan by June 1, 2026, for potentially adopting these standards. They would also need to brief Congress on this plan by July 1, 2026.
