Friend,
Meta does not stop a user saying “Hopefully someone blows your brains out asap.” The company is enabling the normalization of violence at a time when politicians across the aisle are getting attacked and murdered.
In the past couple of years, there were three assassination attempts on President Trump. The killing of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman. The firebombing of Governor Josh Shapiro's residence.
In January 2025, Mark Zuckerberg's company rolled back key protections against hate, threats, and harassment.
We warned that abuse would increase. And it did.
Our new research shows that violent threats targeting members of Congress quadrupled in the six months after these changes.
We’re sending a letter to Mark Zuckerberg urging to reinstate safety protections and stop this abuse ahead of the November general elections.
