Biden: Tackle Big Tech NOW!
To US President Biden and Members of Congress:
We call on you to responsibly regulate social media companies. You have a unique opportunity to hold Big Tech accountable for their role in amplifying toxic content that harms not just your own citizens, but people, democracies, and public health worldwide. President Biden, we urge you to push this issue to the forefront in Congress, and appoint a senior White House official with the experience and mandate to tackle tech accountability. The United States is the home of Big Tech and we look to you for leadership in designing laws for the digital age that will address the dangers of social media while preserving the freedom of speech.

‘Zuck’ is terrified that new laws will finally force him to tell the truth about how Facebook manipulates us, invades our privacy, misuses our data, and has willingly become a weapon of the far right.
Lawmakers in the US have introduced almost a dozen different bills designed to do just that -- force Facebook and other platforms to come clean about how harmful their products can be. But right now those bills are stalled, mired in a morass of competing political priorities.
Mark and his army of lobbyists know that all they have to do is wait. In just a few months, Congress will slow to a crawl for the 2022 campaign season and the bills will wither away. We’ve talked to friends in dozens of lawmakers’ offices and we keep hearing the same thing: only a strong call from President Biden can clear a path for tough transparency rules for big tech. Join us and we’ll hand-deliver our combined voices directly to the White House.
