TELL META: Don’t Kill Your Crucial Transparency Tool, CrowdTangle!
Meta has announced it will be abandoning CrowdTangle, its industry leading transparency tool, this August - in the middle of the biggest election year on record.
CrowdTangle is used by thousands of researchers, journalists and advocates to monitor political disinformation and hate speech on Facebook and Instagram.
The decision to kill this crucial tool without an equivalent replacement couldn’t come at a worse time: Elections affecting approximately half of the world’s population are taking place this year. Meta’s irresponsible decision poses a direct threat to our ability to safeguard the integrity of these elections - but we can still stop it.
Sign the petition now to call on Meta to maintain CrowdTangle during this critical period of elections worldwide to protect election integrity in 2024 and beyond!
What a stain on humanity Zuckerberg has been.
He took advantage of the Myspace potential and has gone almost unchallenged and unchecked. He needs to pay for his crimes.
Lol just made a little rant about it . Zuck definetly isn’t paying up enough and even EU seems not that strong towards them .
