Friend,
Less than two weeks before Donald Trump returns to the White House, Mark Zuckerberg made a sweeping announcement: Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads) is eliminating moderation policies that protect users from disinformation and hate.
Let’s be clear – this isn’t about free speech. This is about Zuckerberg bowing to Trump and the MAGA movement.
Sign the petition: demand Zuckerberg reverse these dangerous changes! >>
These policies – announced with fanfare and under the guise of "free speech" – were rolled out just before Trump’s second term begins. The timing is no coincidence. Zuckerberg has handed Trump exactly what he wants: a platform with no accountability and no guardrails, where hate speech and lies can run rampant and virtually unchecked, except for the reliance on “community based” fact-checking similar to what was adopted by Twitter/X.
Billions of people rely on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. The decision to abandon moderation isn’t just reckless – it’s a gift to MAGA extremists who have long complained that moderation prevents them from spreading lies without consequence. But bending the rules for Trump and his MAGA enablers isn’t protecting free speech; it’s laying the groundwork for authoritarianism.
We’ve seen what happens when platforms like Twitter/X abandon moderation: an explosion of hate speech and lies.[1] Don’t let Zuckerberg do the same with Facebook.
Tell Zuckerberg and Meta to stop bowing to Trump and restore moderation policies! >>
Thank you for speaking out to protect truth and accountability.
