Friend,
Donald Trump's re-election campaign is buying hundreds of ads on
Facebook that spread dangerous disinformation about voting.
But Facebook refuses to take these demonstrably false ads down -- and
the company continues to generate revenue from them.

Facebook has repeatedly refused to hold Trump to any sort of standard on
its platform. And now, as states consider expanding their vote-by-mail
options to help Americans vote safely in November -- Trump is once again
taking advantage of Facebook's leniency.
This time, he's spreading harmful disinformation about voting. Trump's
re-election campaign has already purchased over 500 Facebook ads that
spread disproven claims about voter fraud. [1]
And how can these false, irresponsible ads run uninhibited?
Because Facebook exempts politicians' ads -- including Trump's -- from
any fact-checking. [2] And even though Facebook claims it bans political
ads that discourage people from voting, the platform has done nothing to
stop the Trump campaign from publishing its harmful ads.
Add your name to demand immediate investigations into Facebook -- and to
stop the company from profiting off of vote-suppressing ads.

These posts could deter everyday Americans from exercising their right
to vote, friend. But Facebook is a monopoly that
surveils its users and serves them targeted ads -- so it has no problem
running Trumps', as long as they generate revenue.
As the November elections approach, I hope you'll join me in demanding
real accountability for Facebook.
Thanks for taking action,
The Common Dreams Team
