1/ We are in a democratic emergency. Yesterday the Real Facebook Oversight Board urged Facebook to remove groups speculating the election is illegitimate.
2/ Facebook has already pledged to flag posts containing these falsehoods. Yet only yesterday, Women for America launched the Facebook group “Stop The Steal.”
3/ It claims “Democrats are scheming to disenfranchise and nullify Republican votes. It's up to us, the American People, to fight and to put a stop to it. Along with President Trump, we will do whatever it takes to ensure the integrity of this election for the good of the nation"
4/ It further claims "This is a coalition/team effort. We need boots on the ground to protect the integrity of the vote."
5/ It already has 300 thousand members and is likely to have a few hundred more by the time you finish reading JUST THIS THREAD.
6/ The group advertises events across the country
7/ It condones the taking up of arms
8/ And it glorifies the words of sadistic dictators
9/ Facebook, actually enforce YOUR OWN POLICY. Don’t let people organise violence and undermine the Election on your platform. Is this really that controversial?
