.@facebook’s response to us challenging them 2 create safe conditions 4 Black ppl & marginalized groups on their platform? Fanning the flames of anti-Semitism resulting in a pipe bomb on George Soros’ doorstep & campaigning against us using alt right media nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
This @facebook story shows that while we were operating in good faith, trying to protect our communities, they were using the hateful tactics of the exact same far right actors they were enabling on the platform.
Our work with @Facebook began after the murder of Korryn Gaines by police shortly after her account was deactivated mid-livestream.
From demanding protection for Black leaders doxxed by white supremacists in a FB group, to ensuring transparent & just @Facebook moderation policies, to demanding an end to racially targeted digital voter suppression, we’ve sat across the negotiation table w/ @Facebook for years
All along, @facebook was working to discredit our work
@Facebook must make amends:

Fire Joel Kaplan for his role in this scheme & the PR firms you worked w/to delegitimize us & our partners

Release all of the opposition research compiled on us & our allies so we understand the full extent you went to undermine civil rights work.
.@facebook must:

Release the data on voter suppression attempts on the platform.

Commit to a public release of the civil rights audit including meaningful steps to address the harms raised.
“By @facebook suggesting to reporters that Color Of Change is acting as the puppet of Mr. Soros because he is one of our many funders, they’ve given oxygen to the worst anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of the white nationalist Trump base” @rashadrobinson theguardian.com/technology/201…
