Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp CEO Chris Daniels, and government regulators:

The evidence is overwhelming that WhatsApp has become a weapon of mass democratic destruction. We demand, for the sake of the futures of your children and ours, that Facebook/WhatsApp immediately install disinformation protection for all WhatsApp users, and make encryption optional so that users can choose to assist efforts in monitoring disinformation. You must delete all fake and fraudulent accounts and correct fake news circulated on your platform. If you will not act, we call on regulators to do so.

Zuckerberg: Clean up WhatsApp!
Brazil is about to elect Jair Bolsonaro President, a man who praises torture, says he'll end all activism and threatens to kill 30,000 leftists. How could this insanity happen?!?!

Facebook.

Facebook's WhatsApp has illegally spread vast quantities of fake news in Brazil, convincing huge percentages of voters that Bolsonaro's opponent distributed "gay kits" to turn school kids gay, advocated incest and pedophilia, and rigged voting machines. Believing lies like that, people choose the lesser monster.

How many democracies need to die before CEO Zuckerberg cleans up his act? How many do we have left?

WhatsApp is even worse than Facebook, because it's all encrypted - it's a free for all for child porn, human traffickers, and toxic fake news. With major elections approaching, we desperately need WhatsApp to make encryption optional, delete fake and fraudulent accounts and correct fake news. This is the moment when we can shame them into action - sign the petition and Avaaz will blanket Silicon Valley with our message.
