John,

Mark Zuckerberg has quietly lifted a ban on ads claiming the US election was rigged – opening the gates to a new flood of pro-Trump disinformation on Facebook and Instagram in the run-up to the next election.

It’s a sordid profit grab, designed to capitalize on a relentless slew of extremist lies, no matter the consequences for the world. But there’s a chance we could stop it.

Zuckerberg knows this is a low move that could cause backlash for Meta – it’s why he snuck it into a policy update with no fanfare. With the US elections coming up, we can create a massive public campaign that will force Meta to backtrack on this dangerous policy. Sign now:

It’s not just the US. Meta has also reversed bans on false claims about election outcomes in Italy and Brazil – where Bolsonaro’s lies about the 2022 election led to armed protesters storming Congress in an attempted coup.

This is literally one CEO taking a sledgehammer to democracy, setting the world on course for more electoral violence when he should be doing everything in his power to fix past mistakes.

Ekō members have helped force Meta to u-turn before – like when it suspended its toxic plans to build an Instagram for Kids. We can do it again now! Add your name:
