            YouTube is turning over its homepage advertising to the Trump 
campaign on Election Day. When Americans go to the polls, Trump will be 
broadcasting his hateful lies and conspiracy theories on the world’s biggest 
social media platform.

            Facebook and Twitter have already banned political ads in the 
election run-up in a desperate attempt to stem the tide of disinformation. 
But YouTube has decided to hand Donald Trump a megaphone instead.

            If there is a massive public outcry, we can force YouTube to 
pull the plug on Trump and ditch all political ads for the duration of the 
election. We need you to join the call:

            YouTube: pull the plug on Trump!

            Insiders say that YouTube considered replacing political ads on 
the homepage with 'Get Out the Vote' ads but company bosses slapped down the 
idea.

            With YouTube’s reach even bigger than Facebook, it’s hard to 
fathom how company bosses can defend such a reckless decision.

            In the last two weeks alone, Facebook has banned Holocaust 
deniers and QAnon conspiracists thanks to millions of people demanding 
action. We’ve got these social media giants on the run -- now’s the time to 
double down on YouTube.

            Add your voice: YouTube, pull the plug on Trump and ditch all 
political ads!
