Violent extremists are using Facebook to intimidate voters, and preparing
to rally their troops if Trump doesn't win the election. That's why a huge
coalition of civil society groups is pushing Facebook to adopt some simple
policy changes -- like banning incitement to violence -- ahead of the
vote. Add your name:

John,

Violent extremists are using Facebook to intimidate voters and rally
support for an armed revolt if Trump doesn't win the election.

With the final result expected to take weeks, it's a recipe for disaster
-- but we have a plan.

Civil society groups around the world are joining together asking Facebook
to take simple steps to prevent an election disaster -- like banning ads
and other content that incites violence. It could take away these
extremists' ability to create chaos. Will you join us?

[ [link removed] ]Facebook: prevent violence, protect the vote!

Last time this big a coalition of groups came together, they created the
Stop Hate for Profit movement calling on companies to boycott Facebook
ads. That effort got massive media attention, brought Facebook to the
bargaining table, and sparked a global conversation about platform
responsibility for hateful and violent content.

And Facebook continues to back down under enormous public pressure -- just
this week, they took down a network of inauthentic accounts posting US
political content after an outside investigation.

With just days until the election and Facebook still being used to spread
lies and delegitimize election results -- we need to dial up the pressure
more than ever.

A few straightforward, unbiased tweaks -- like demoting the top fake news
super-spreader groups, and hiring more content moderators -- is not too
much to ask. Join the international call demanding Mark Zuckerberg do
*right now* what he's promised for so long -- and clean up Facebook's act:

Civil rights leaders, organisations and activists have been raising the
alarm for years. With a world-critical election now days away, the need to
act has never been greater. Let's add our voices to a growing chorus
demanding Facebook execs do their job and stop putting us all in danger.
