| | | | | | For real — it's terrifying how much we don’t know about Facebook. The social media giant has almost 3 billion users (and tracks many more), but this year we've seen yet again how the secretive way it operates is dangerous for all of us.
By keeping us in the dark about how it combats misinformation, who's paying for ads and how social media affects our mental health, Facebook actively stops us seeing when it’s causing harm.
But here’s the thing: we’re not going to just accept it.
It's true — Facebook's secrecy puts us all at risk. To keep us safe, we urgently need it to be open and accountable. Chip in now to join the fight, it takes 1 minute: Facebook has a long history of betraying people's privacy and trust. It's faced record fines around the world for this, and been caught hiding data-leaks from its users.
In recent months, whistleblowers have revealed just how much else the company's been hiding, on issues as serious as divisive content, human trafficking and children's mental health.
That's why we urgently need to force Facebook to agree to greater transparency — now.
It's clear the social media giant won't change without a fight. But our Mozilla community is determined not to back down. Are you with us?
Seriously, this is urgent: the only way to make sure Facebook doesn’t cause harm is to make it open and accountable. Can you help fund the fight? Click to donate now: I'm so proud of how hard our community is fighting for a safer, more transparent internet.

P.S. Facebook holds the keys to better understanding how social media can harm children’s mental health. That's crucial information, and if you agree it should be public, help fund the fight for a safer, more transparent internet.
