<P>In just days, EU politicians will vote on the future of
legislation that could finally rein in the Big Tech giants -- and
end their days profiting off viral Covid disinformation, racial
hatred and more.</P>
<P>Now Facebook and Co are spending MILLIONS of dollars on lobbyists
in a desperate bid to water down these laws. </P>
<P>That’s why <STRONG>SumOfUs is on the streets of Brussels today
demanding EU politicians listen to the people instead.</STRONG></P>
<P>These politicians really care about their public image -- our
pressure can make them do the right thing. But first we need to make
sure they hear us. <STRONG>Will you send a Tweet to key MEPs and
help amplify our call?</STRONG></P>
<P> </P>

<P> </P>
<P>Billion-dollar social media corporations have inflicted so much
harm, from spreading false claims about bogus Covid cures to
promoting eating disorders -- a company memo leaked this week shows
<STRONG>Instagram actually <EM>hid research</EM> showing just
how bad it is for teen mental health.</STRONG></P>
<P>We can’t let these companies shape our laws. If we show Europe’s
politicians that we -- the people -- are watching their every move,
<STRONG>we can push them into acting for the interests of the
public, not Big Tech profits. </STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Will you help by sending a Tweet to MEPs who will vote on
this crucial legislation?</STRONG> If we fill up their feeds on the
same day there is a major action on the streets of Brussels, we can
really turn up the heat:</P>
