John,
Facebook is getting ready to end access to the transparency tool that detected the Cambridge Analytica scandal — when millions of Facebook users’ data was collected by the consulting firm without their consent. Facebook is gutting this critical safeguard just months before one of the most pivotal elections of our lives!
Meta’s most popular platforms, FaceBook and Instagram, are used by BILLIONS of people. In recent years, they’ve become people’s go-to news sources, but they’ve also become hotbeds of misinformation.
Take action with us today to hold Meta accountable and demand that they protect transparency online.
CrowdTangle, developed by a third party, allowed journalists and researchers transparency and the ability to track, view, and analyze FaceBook content. Facebook acquired CrowdTangle in 2016, but has allowed it to function mostly independently — until now.
Meta will shut down CrowdTangle on August 14th – just twelve weeks before one of the most consequential presidential elections of our lifetimes.
As politicians like Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kari Lake, and other extremist MAGA allies flood social media with constant fake news and baseless conspiracy theories, we need platforms like CrowdTangle now more than ever.
Join us and demand that Meta’s executives protect CrowdTangle and work to promote transparency on their platforms!
Thank you for taking action with us,
Democratic Values
