<P><STRONG>EU politicians are drafting the final version of the
legislation that could rein in Big Tech</STRONG> platforms -- and
end their days of putting profit over all else.</P>
<P><STRONG>But the Big Tech lobby is on a dangerous
mission:</STRONG> they are pushing to include a provision in this
legislation which would <STRONG>shield their companies from having
to share crucial information</STRONG> that could <STRONG>save
millions</STRONG> of people from Covid disinformation, hate speech,
scams and more.</P>
<P><STRONG>But we can stop this. </STRONG></P>
<P>These politicians <STRONG>care about their public image</STRONG>
and <STRONG>our pressure can make sure they do the right
thing</STRONG>. They are deciding on this provision as we speak --
<STRONG>Will you send a Tweet to key MEPs asking them to vote for
the people not Big Tech billionaires?</STRONG></P>

<P>The harms of social media and Big tech are only known thanks to
the herculean efforts of civil society and journalists, so now, they
want to block us from accessing information that exposes their true
colours -- claiming these are "trade secrets". This is absurd!</P>
<P><STRONG>We can’t let these companies shape our laws.</STRONG> 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 to vote for the
people not the billionaires?</STRONG></P>
