My fear is that without action, divisive and extremist behaviors we see today are only the beginning of what we saw in Myanmar and now in Ethiopia are the opening chapters of a story so terrifying that no one wants to read the end of it. Congress can change the rules that facebook plays by and stop the many harms it is now causing. We now know the truth about facebook’s instructive impact–destructive impact. I came forward at great personal risk because I believe we still have time to act, but we must act now. I am asking you to act.
