Indivisible Action: Reject Tech Billionaire Influence on Elections
On Saturday, October 17, millions of us came together for No Kings: Vote Early, the largest single-day early vote activation in American history. Right at the height of our national day of action, Meta unexpectedly suspended the No Kings Coalition’s Instagram account. The page was completely hidden, and then administrators were locked out for hours without any justification. After intense public backlash, Meta restored access and gave a flimsy excuse for the suspension that doesn’t align with known facts. This censorship extended beyond the No Kings official handle: subsequent amplification of the incident by independent creators prompted the removal of posts on their personal accounts as well.
At a time when corporate colluders and tech billionaires are pouring millions of dollars into our elections and putting their thumbs on the scales for their political cronies across the globe, this silencing of opposition voices should alarm us all, regardless of our politics. It’s a warning sign for democracy – and we expect Congress to act now.
