Friend, While Elon Musk’s disastrous takeover of Twitter has dominated the headlines in recent weeks, we’re keeping a close eye on Meta. Why? Because in an interview earlier this year, Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg signaled that the company could lift Donald Trump’s ban on Facebook and Instagram as early as January 2023.1 (Yep. THAT’S NEXT MONTH.) It’s critical that we raise our voices now to make sure Meta holds the line. Will you add your name to our petition demanding that Meta keep Trump off Facebook and Instagram for good? ADD YOUR NAME In the last month alone, Trump dined with white supremacists at Mar-a-Lago and took to his social-media platform Truth Social to call for the termination of the U.S. Constitution to overturn the 2020 election results. It’s clear: If Meta allows Trump back on its platforms, it would immediately open the door for more disinformation and extreme rhetoric targeting a much wider audience. We can’t let that happen. Before the end of the year, add your name to our petition demanding that Meta keep Trump off Facebook and Instagram. ADD YOUR NAME Thanks for taking urgent action on this, Candace and the rest of the Free Press team freepress.net
