Senator questions internet domain companies over Russian disinformation charges

SUMMARY :

A US Senator has sent letters to CEOs of major internet domain companies, questioning their role in recently-uncovered Russian disinformation campaigns. The Senator highlights the use of domain registration services by the 'Doppelganger' network, which creates websites mimicking legitimate news sources to spread propaganda. The letters emphasize the potential impact on the upcoming presidential election and criticize the domain name industry for not addressing abusive behavior. The Senator warns that legislative remedies may be necessary to promote greater diligence in the global domain name ecosystem, particularly in light of foreign attempts to undermine confidence in the election.
