We are deeply concerned by Meta's recent decision to scale back content moderation, including removing independent fact-checkers and relaxing restrictions on sensitive topics. This move poses a dangerous threat to European Democracy.


❗️ Limiting #factchecking is a free pass for hate speech, abuse, and #misinformation to spread unchecked. By allowing false narratives to flourish, Meta is endangering public trust and the values of equality, fairness, and truth.


❗️ The consequences are clear: misinformation fuels division, violence, and distrust in democratic institutions. In an era where social media is a key platform for political discourse, we cannot afford to let these dangerous trends go unchecked.


❗️Now, more than ever, it is urgent for European politicians to take action! We must implement robust legislation to #safeguard democracy in the digital sphere. Tech giants like Meta must be held accountable to ensure that our digital spaces remain fair, inclusive, and trustworthy.


🗣️ The time to act is now!
