Hi --

Before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol meets today, let’s be clear: the insurrection was built on Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook must be held accountable for their toxic business model that incentivizes radicalization.

The events of January 6 were the culmination of a long-run campaign by extremist groups who used Facebook to disseminate disinformation and coordinate the attack that left five dead.

Today’s hearing is so important because the House Select Committee MUST use their investigatory powers to examine what transpired on Facebook before the insurrection, including behind the scenes at Facebook HQ, to determine who knew what and when. Only then can the responsible entities be held accountable.

Watch and share our video to make clear why Facebook bears significant responsibility for the events that transpired on January 6th:

All those involved in inciting the insurrection must be held accountable. That includes Facebook.

Thanks for helping us hold Big Tech accountable,
