‌ ‌ ‌Team,

With the November election just 20 days away, it’s now more important than ever that social media giants follow our election integrity roadmap. [[link removed]] We’ve outlined the next steps the companies must take to ensure that, unlike in 2016, our democracy isn’t ripe for exploitation and our election is free from misinformation.

From now until the election, Mark Zuckerberg and other social media giants must:

➥ Fight misinformation by sharing updates about the likely timeline for election results. This will help ease any confusion and ensure a peaceful transition.
➥ Let election directors and NGOs promote credible information while also flagging misleading content and promoting voter hotlines.
➥ Apply the highest transparency standard to all ads, not just political ones. As 2016 showed us, it’s more than just the political ads that influence voters -- it’s the entire digital landscape.

These are just the first steps social media giants can take to legitimize themselves as fair actors during such a critical election. But they won’t do it alone -- it’s up to us to pressure them to take these steps. Will you sign our petition today? [[link removed]]

Thanks,
Team Accountable Tech
