A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

PFAW Member,

Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is buying HUNDREDS of ads on Facebook
that spread dangerous disinformation about voting.

But Facebook REFUSES to take these false ads down -- and the company
continues to profit from them.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why we’re demanding investigations into Facebook for
profiteering from political ads that propagate lies about voting. Add your
name now to join us! >>

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 – the Trump campaign is
once again relying on the platform’s lax policies to incite fear and
misinformation about efforts to expand voting options.

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 unchecked?

Because Facebook exempts politicians’ ads -- including Trump’s -- from any
fact-checking. 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.

Clearly, the team at Facebook has learned nothing from its 2016 debacle --
when the presidential election was polluted by foreign lies and propaganda
shared on the platform.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to demand immediate investigations into Facebook -- and
to stop the company from profiting from vote-suppressing ads! >>

In an election year where the stakes could not be higher, these posts
could discourage everyday Americans from exercising their right to vote.

As the November elections approach, I hope you’ll join me in demanding
real accountability for Facebook.

Thanks for all you do,

- Zach, PFAW
