John,

A resolution at Facebook’s annual shareholder meeting could finally force the platform to deal with the fake news epidemic that spurred the US Capitol insurrection and spread covid conspiracies worldwide.

A group of shareholders are voting to make permanent the anti-disinformation measures put in place during the 2020 US election.

But we need to bring a few big investors onside if we’re going to get Facebook to act.

Our best hopes are the governments of two US states, and Canada’s national pension plan. All are significant shareholders and also public servants, so they know the damage Facebook’s business model is doing to our democracy and our health.

Tell the state governments of California and Oregon, and Canada Pension Plan to vote to fix Facebook’s fake news machine!

Facebook is under attack from all sides - regulators want to break it up and lawmakers have had enough of their empty promises. And now Facebook’s own shareholders are demanding the company gets a grip.

If an overwhelming majority of shareholders vote for this resolution, it will send a strong message to Mark Zuckerberg that carrying on with business as usual isn’t going to cut it.

Last year two thirds of ordinary investors, furious at the company’s failure to tackle disinformation and hate speech, voted for changes at the company.

Now if we can persuade even more investors to take a stand, we can force Facebook to change course. Sign and share:
