Got this today (3/4/19) and reacted immediately, in favor of it.
Rich:
The Federal Trade Commission is
considering serious penalties for Facebook’s violations of federal laws and
court orders regarding our privacy and our data. The latest report is that the
FTC is considering fining Facebook to the tune of $1 billion. Even though that
sounds like a lot, it’s just a drop in the bucket for the tech giant.
Facebook won’t stop selling users’ data
and privacy for profit until they’re broken up. This is a critical moment for
us to take back control of the internet from big corporate monopolies. Facebook
owns too many apps, from Instagram to WhatsApp.
Adding insult to injury, just a few
weeks ago, Facebook -- alongside Google and Microsoft -- came under fire for
sponsoring a conference that promotes climate denial. We can’t accept these
tech giants claiming to be good corporate actors, but then turning around and
doing the opposite.
Your fellow climate hawk,
