A brave whistleblower just leaked secret Facebook documents ... and they're shocking!

They show that Facebook knew. It knew that human traffickers used their platform to lure women into sexual slavery. It knew that it was being used to incite violence against minorities, which in the past already fueled death and displacement. It knew that divisive lies and extremism were being promoted to millions all over the world. And it knew its systems were removing less than 1% of violent content.

Facebook knew all this. And yet, the whistleblower said, it has put “profits before people”.

That has to change -- and now is our chance to make it happen. With in-depth investigations and bombshell media reports, Avaaz has helped force Facebook's shame on the agenda of legislators across the world.

Now we're in the room with lawmakers from Europe to Brazil, fighting tooth and nail to win laws that protect people and democracy from social media’s corrosive impact.

But we're up against some of the biggest companies in the world, unleashing their lobbying firepower to fight strong regulation. Last year alone Big Tech spent more than 100 million dollars on lobbying!

We can still win. If we raise enough now, we can fund more bombshell research, bring social media survivors to decision makers across the world, and show up at every key decision with hard-hitting ads and stunts demanding action.

This is some of our most important work, but it's also some of our least funded. We can't afford to stop now -- this is our big chance! Chip in now, and let's tame the social media beast for good!
