DESCRIPTION:Wake the ZUCK Up on President’s Day action--\n***will create a “Truth 
 Matters” human billboard on the Hwy 101 overpass in Palo Alto near 
 Zuckerberg's home***\n\nMonday, February 17, 10 AM\n\nOverpass in Palo Alto 
 at Oregon Expressway/Embarcadero Road\n\nWHY: Mark Zuckerberg’s San 
 Francisco Bay Area technology company, Facebook, refuses to take 
 responsibility for lies, hate, and disinformation spread on its platform 
 that could jeopardize the integrity of the 2020 elections. But local 
 activists have launched a campaign to demand that Facebook change its 
 ways.\n\nWhile Twitter has banned political advertising altogether, Google 
 has limited political ad targeting, and YouTube plans to remove misleading 
 election-related content from its platform, Facebook has doubled down on 
 Zuckerberg’s decision to allow politicians and political campaigns to 
 blatantly lie in their advertisements. The company is also all too happy to 
 profit from microtargeting that directs disinformation at vulnerable 
 communities and is hidden from everyone else. Meanwhile, it’s trying to 
 cover itself with a fig leaf of free speech.\n\nAt the President’s Day 
 protests (at the same 10am time, one in San Francisco and one in Palo Alto) 
 pro-democracy activists will tell Facebook that it should stop politicians 
 from being able to “buy and lie” in their campaign advertising in 2020. 
 And they will remind Zuckerberg that Truth Matters.\n\nThe President’s 
 Day actions come on the heels of protests outside Facebook’s headquarters 
 in Menlo Park on January 9th and 17th.  \n\nCONTACT:\nTo join in the Palo
