i received this by e mail.A brave whistleblower just leaked secret Facebook documents... and they're shocking!

They show that Facebook knew. They knew that human traffickers used Facebook to lure women into sexual slavery. They knew that it was being used to incite violence against minorities. They knew that divisive lies and extremism were being promoted to millions all over the world. And they 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's our chance. With in-depth investigations and bombshell media reports, Avaaz has helped force Facebook's shame onto 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 and protect their profits. Last year alone Big Tech spent more than 100 million dollars on lobbying!

But this time, we can win. If we raise enough now, we can fund researchers to uncover more damning evidence, go head to head with the corporate lobbyists, bring testimonies of those harmed by social media to lawmakers, and show up at every key decision with hard-hitting ads and stunts demanding action.
