John,

Vladimir Putin's egomaniacal war on Ukraine has been made possible by the
lies he has fed the Russian public for years.

And platforms like YouTube and Facebook are amplifying his lies through
their tools and algorithms, giving this murderous dictator cover to invade
another country.

[ [link removed] ]Tell YouTube and Facebook: stop spreading Putin’s lies

This isn’t about cracking down on free speech — this is about platforms
amplifying and monetizing lies to justify a horrific war.

Several Russian state media channels are spreading Russian disinformation
and propaganda on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and other sites, and racking
up millions of views. And some platforms like YouTube are funding and even
profiting off these lies by allowing advertisements on the content.

From false flag attempts, to spreading lies about a genocide against
Russians — Putin is weaponizing social media and innocent Ukrainians are
paying the price.

The platforms know how to deal with this, but they won’t unless there is
massive pressure. Add your name and share widely —
