Hey there --

Time and time again, we’ve seen Facebook fail to address the rampant disinformation, extremism, discrimination, and hate on their platforms. 

Folks always ask us, what can we do about it? Our answer: Congress can and must investigate Facebook now.

Congress has the power to compel individuals to testify or produce records through subpoenas. Last week, Congress subpoenaed Big Oil companies for their role in contributing to climate change and spreading climate disinformation online. We’re calling on them to subpoena Facebook next. Here’s why:

We deserve to know the full extent of Facebook’s cover up of internal research on their platforms’ harms to kids.

We deserve to know how Facebook helped facilitate the January 6th Capitol insurrection.

We deserve to know how much COVID-19 misinformation is on Facebook.

We deserve to know how Facebook continues to enable human trafficking.

The list goes on and on...

Congress has the power to compel Facebook executives to testify and turn over data and internal communications. It’s time for them to act. Add your name to our petition calling on Congress to launch a formal investigation into Facebook with subpoena power:

Considering what’s at stake, Congress can’t afford to play nice anymore. Join us in urging lawmakers to investigate Facebook. There’s no time to waste. Our lives and our democracy are on the line.

We’ll be hand-delivering all the names from our petition to Members of Congress and Facebook. Add your name now to join the movement to hold Facebook accountable.

Thanks for being with us,

Nicole
