Misinformation on Social Media is Dangerous. Protect Athletes Like Imane Khelif!

  • van: Care2 Team
  • ontvanger: Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter; Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Algerian Olympian Imane Khelif recently faced a viral storm of racist and transphobic attacks fueled by misinformation about her gender. The social media debates around Khelif's gender was completely irrelevant to her accomplishments, but also highlights a serious need for stronger measures against online misinformation. This kind of misinformation on social media platforms not only endangers individuals like Khelif but can also lead to real-world violence, especially in regions where certain identities are criminalized. We demand immediate action from Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to implement more rigorous controls to prevent the spread of harmful misinformation on Twitter and Facebook.

Sign the petition to urge the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook to enhance their platforms' misinformation filters and protect users from harmful content!

Unfortunately, women athletes of color are no stranger to vicious attacks questioning their gender. These needless questions aim to delegitimize their accomplishments and threaten their safety. 

The perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and misinformation on platforms like Twitter and Facebook can lead to real-world consequences, threatening the safety and well-being of individuals. This is particularly critical for individuals from countries where being transgender is illegal, turning misinformation into a potentially life-threatening issue.

Sign this petition to demand that Twitter and Facebook take immediate steps to improve their misinformation management, ensuring that their platforms do not become conduits for harm and discrimination.
