PFAW Member,

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has had at least two secret meetings with
Donald Trump in the runup to the 2020 election -- and the American people
need to know what they’re discussing.

It’s up to Congress to get to the bottom of Facebook’s role in the
right-wing disinformation machine.

in right-wing disinformation!>>

Facebook was at the center of foreign interference in the 2016 election,
pushing false stories in front of millions of people.

Since Trump took office, Zuckerberg has talked a big game about protecting
its users ahead of the 2020 election. But Facebook’s actions speak louder
than his words:

* Facebook is relying on partisan so-called fact-checkers like the Daily
Caller and Breitbart.com to flag misleading posts, even though they
are some of the worst offenders.
* Facebook continues to allow hate speech to fester on its platform.
* Facebook refuses to ban content in advertising that is untruthful.
* And the list goes on...

By allowing Far Right ideologies, lies, and racist hate to permeate on its
platform, Facebook undoubtedly plays an outsized role in the
misinformation that has plagued our recent elections.

In their refusal to hold themselves accountable for these problems,
Congress must take action by continuing to investigate Facebook and, if
necessary, pass laws requiring social media companies to regulate the
content that is allowed to be shared.

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
