John,

Far right extremists just unleashed a wave of violence across Ireland and the UK. Mobs rampaging through towns and cities, burning down libraries and food banks, and smashing in hotels that house terrified migrants.

Social media companies like X are aiding and abetting these extremists by letting dangerous disinformation spread freely, giving far right leaders and extremists a free pass to broadcast their hate and incite violence online. 

The UK government is deciding right now how to hold the social media companies to account. Let's use this momentum and demand a public inquiry into how Twitter and other tech companies fuelled the UK riots.

Tell the UK government: stop hate speech online – launch a public inquiry now

An array of online influencers, anti-Muslim extremists and fascist groups have stoked unrest after a deadly knife attack on a children’s event in northwestern England, killing three little girls. 

Disinformation about the perpetrator being “an asylum-seeker” and “muslim” spread across X and other social media like wildfire, leading to rioters attacking mosques and even a hotel hosting migrants.

All this is only possible because execs from X, Telegram and other social media giants are twiddling their thumbs while cashing in the profits from amplifying the dis- and misinformation that are being spread. But the new UK government could take hard measures against Elon Musk, Pavel Durov & Co., especially if they feel massive global pressure. Join our urgent call:

UK government: Stop the spread of hateful disinformation NOW

Our movement has seized opportunities like this before and won – like when this community mobilized and got Trump kicked off X after the January 6th attempted coup at the US Capitol. Let’s beat hate once again, with our collective people power.
