For nearly six hours on Monday, the world seemingly came to a halt.1 Reports started to stream in that Facebook’s family of apps (Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook) had unexpectedly shut down. All over the world, people weren’t able to do things like connect with family, run their businesses, or organize. Despite such tremendous consequences for the billions of people on the platform, Facebook seemed like they didn’t need to share why this was happening or provide timely updates.
The Facebook outage comes on the heels of Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen, telling us what many of us already know, “Facebook, over and over again, chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money [...] The version of Facebook that exists today is tearing our societies apart.” 2
That’s why we’ve printed FREE stickers — to spread the word about Facebook and let them know that we won’t stand for their dangerous actions that impact all of us — regardless of whether we’re on the platform or not. Fill out the form to get yours!
