Hey there --



We’ve been busy this past month making Facebook’s harms known to the world and fighting to level the playing field for small businesses struggling to compete with Big Tech monopolies. I’m so proud and grateful of all the hard work our small but mighty team of now 8 (!!) staffers are accomplishing.

We couldn’t have gotten here without your support. Here’s a recap of the past month:

*
Following
additional
reporting
made
possible
by
Facebook
whistleblower
Frances
Haugen,
we
launched
FacebookPapers.com
[[link removed]]
as
a
public
resource
to
catalog
all
the
articles
detailing
Facebook’s
harms
to
democracy,
global
security,
and
public
health.
The
common
thread
to
it
all:
individual
users,
businesses,
and
even
Facebook’s
own
employees
are
all
fed
up
with
their
company’s
corporate
irresponsibility
and
recklessness.
*

Because
of
your
calls
to
Congress,
the
Senate
confirmed
Jonathan
Kanter
to
lead
the
Department
of
Justice’s
Antitrust
Division.
Thanks
to
your
support,
the
Biden
administration
now
has
two
more
champions
for
reining
in
Big
Tech’s
monopoly
power
and
societal
harms
for
all,
especially
minority
and
marginalized
groups.

We
joined
Kairos
to
host
The
Facebook
Logout
[[link removed]]
,
where
we
and
over
50,000
of
you
all
logged
out
of
Facebook,
Instagram,
and
WhatsApp
for
three
days.
Facebook
cares
how
long
we
spend
on
its
platforms
because
98%
of
their
revenue
[[link removed]]
is
derived
from
ads
targeted
to
users.
We’re
Facebook’s
entire
business
model,
and
we
showed
them
that
we’re
sick
and
tired
of
their
toxic
business
model.

Finally,
we
launched
the
campaign
Main
Street
Against
Big
Tech
[[link removed]]
to
highlight
how
Big
Tech
harms
small
business
owners
through
opaque
and
deceptive
marketing
features.
For
too
long,
Big
Tech
companies
like
Facebook,
Google,
and
Amazon
have
used
small
business
owners
as
a
shield
to
evade
reform
and
accountability,
but
we’re
putting
a
stop
to
it
and
undermining
their
false
narrative
that
they’re
a
lifeline
for
small
business.

We’ve been hard at work fighting for structural reforms to create a healthier internet and information ecosystem. Big Tech has the lobbyists, but we have YOU and the grassroots power to affect change.

Our work depends on people like you. That’s why on this Giving Tuesday, we wanted to lay out for you the work we’ve done in just the past month. Donate now and you can help us do this every month. We have big plans for December and the new year ahead. [[link removed]]
