CfA's February 5, 2021 Newsletter
Thank you for your continued support of CfA. We're dedicated to continue our work in holding the powerful accountable.
Our Recent Work:
- TTP Investigation: Facebook Home to Militant ‘Patriot Party’ Movement: On Tuesday, CfA's Tech Transparency Project (TTP) released a report showing how Facebook is allowing a far-right, pro-Trump “Patriot Party” movement to take root on its platform, combining elements of militia activity and election conspiracy theories. While the effort so far appears to be largely decentralized, it is spreading rapidly on Facebook.
- Some of these groups helped organize “Stop the Steal” rallies in Washington, D.C., including the Jan. 6 event that led to the deadly Capitol riot, and are continuing to use the platform to organize.
- The report was covered by Reuters, Mashable and others.
