On Facebook, wildlife traffickers can easily connect with buyers across the world, fast-tracking illegal, unregulated deals. But one team of whistleblowers hopes it can cut off the illicit trade where it lives—on social media https://t.co/6zZqPpzMZB

#DYK that illegal logging & related international trade are the 3rd largest crime in the world?

At today's @FSCDems hearing, @Ambientalist will highlight how criminal networks made up of public officials & private companies launder illegally felled timber with impunity.

Sources telling me that US embassy accidentally invited 50k Afghans to come to #KabulAiport even tho they can barely process 5k. And #Biden promised they would move 8k a day but currently that’s not feasible. @bsarwary @meekwire @billroggio @LongWarJournal

On #EarthDay, it's time that Facebook changes its policies towards the planet.

ACCO is leading the campaign to pressure Big Tech to clean up their act.

Take action: https://t.co/laZJeYbmNU

Reporting this thoroughly convinced me that self-regulation does not, cannot work. Facebook has only ever moved on issues because or in anticipation of external regulation. If we have any hope of fixing FB's problems, we can no longer afford to wait for it to do so itself.
