PFAW Member,

For years, Facebook has denied or downplayed its role in spreading
political disinformation.

We’re now well into the 2020 election cycle, and Mark Zuckerberg’s recent
half-baked promises to remove certain conspiracy theories are far from
enough.^1 Every day new lies are being spread – especially by the
pro-Trump Right and the other interests that are dead-set on re-electing
Donald Trump by any means necessary.

It’s clearer than ever that Facebook’s policies are a threat to our
democracy.

That’s why we’re aiming to collect at least 60,000 petition signatures
before the end of the month to hand deliver to Facebook’s office in DC and
demand that they change their policies!

[ [link removed] ]Add your name now: Tell Facebook that allowing lies in political
advertising is unacceptable>>

If Facebook allows its advertising platform to spread false claims and
misleading information during yet another election, our basic freedoms are
at risk. We cannot allow Facebook’s starring role in the right-wing
disinformation machine to continue.

PFAW is calling for the social media giant to be held accountable for
their failure to prevent misinformation on their platform, and we need to
demonstrate the public outcry for their refusal to take this problem
seriously! [ [link removed] ]Join us now.

Demand that Facebook reinstate its policy of third-party fact-checking of
paid political advertising!>>

It’s simple: politicians and political advertisers should NOT be exempt
from the company’s misinformation policy.

Now it’s up to us to turn on the pressure and make sure the world’s
largest social media platform does not allow itself to be used as a weapon
against democracy.

In solidarity,

- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
