FACEBOOK HAS HANDED BIG OIL A MASSIVE PROPAGANDA MEGAPHONE. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are feeding lies to you, your friends, and your family. And they're raking in cash because of it. This disinformation isn't just organically bubbling up from everyday people. Big Tech companies are quietly amplifying the most marginal voices of the fossil fuel industry's coordinated strategy to sow doubt and conflict on the climate crisis. Big Oil has been SPREADING PROPAGANDA for decades, but now Facebook's, Twitter's and YouTube's secret algorithms are making the job that much easier. Tell your Congressmember to help STOP the spread of climate disinformation. The consequences of Big Oil lies about climate change have global, life-or-death ramifications. Because if we don't act soon, the climate crisis will continue to intensify. Waters will rise higher and higher, swallowing entire communities. Fires will continue to rage, killing wildlife and sending pollutants into the sky. Your voice can push Congress to fight disinformation and demand transparency from social media companies. Car manufacturers and food companies have to report product dangers – Big Tech should be held to the same standard. Will you demand your representatives rein in disinformation on Facebook and other big tech platforms? Standing with you,
