Dhaka: As election day approaches, fears are growing. That being said, peaceful voting established in a democracy could disrupt US elections. The atmosphere of peace can be destroyed. As a result, the US presidential election in 2020 has become one of the most tense and fearful votes of all time.
False propaganda, fake news, rumors, hatred can spread during the US elections and such is the idea ofmany important sources. Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Facebook-WhatsApp himself, has expressed concern that fake information may spread during the polls.
Many factors have also been identified for electoral instability. That being said, social networking sites are going to be big labs in this year's polls. That's why Zuckerberg has warned Facebook-WhatsApp.
The results of the US presidential election will be counted on November 3. A week ago, Facebook authorities decided to stop political advertising. It also called for immediate action against propaganda or posts that discourage citizens from voting.
But even then, an advertisement came up which was supposed to come after the counting of votes. There was no less debate about that. The situation is heated and out of control, especially in the field, as both sides has been very sensitive in their campaigns.
There were also allegations during the 2016 election that attempts were being made on social media to influence the American vote. Not only from within the country, but also from outside, forces like Russia and China have been working hard to influence the elections. This time too something like that may come to the fore. If it happens just before the election, it will be out of control and will make the situation extremely fragile.
The United States is such a big and divided country of different views and paths, where it is difficult to handle anything. In addition, it may take a few days to a week for the results to be announced in that country. Social unrest can be created during that time, maybe the spread of provocative rumors.
As a result, the week before and after the US election is not only a test for democracy, but also a challenge to ensure peace, stability and security. In particular, the type of danger and the field of danger have increased in the background of religious, cultural and ethnic intolerance in Corona and around the world.
Moreover, many have seen provocations in the speeches and activities of racist and white supremacists, which are not only frightening, but also dangerous for peaceful-democratic elections. All in all, the high-tension U.S. election is moving towards the final moment of the vote with the black cloud on the horizon.
