| | | | | | Hey — even if you've never used Facebook, it probably still knows about you. The social media giant holds a phenomenal amount of data on its nearly 3 billion users, their activities and their contacts. Yet we know terrifyingly little about how it works.
And the fact is, Facebook's secrecy is putting us all at risk.
By deciding what content people see, Facebook has the power to influence our elections, our opinions and our health. So, we urgently need it to be open and accountable.
It's simple — to keep us safe, Facebook must commit to transparency. Our Mozilla community is pushing hard to make that happen. Will you help fund the fight? Chip in now: This year, shocking documents shared by ex-Facebook employee Frances Haugen revealed how much Facebook's parent company isn't telling us about the harm its platforms can cause, and showed why our fight for transparency is so important.
Here are just a few of the things we've demanded from them time and time again:
- tools that allow researchers to properly analyze Facebook's misinformation problem
- open, honest data about social media's mental health impacts
- transparency about who's paying for ads on Facebook and how they're targeted
The Mozilla community is fighting hard to force Facebook to stop keeping harmful secrets, but we can only win if enough of us get behind the campaign. So are you in, friend?
Right now — Facebook's decisions have the potential to cause real harm, so we urgently need it to be open and accountable. Chip in now to help fund the fight, it takes 1 minute: Thanks for being part of our community.
With all of us pushing for action, I'm excited about what we can achieve together in 2022. If you can chip in to fund the fight for a safer internet, here's the link again.
Speak soon,
Juan Barajas,
Director of Partnerships
