“We live in an age of increasingly rampant disinformation, and there are only two ways to deal with this toxic force that is eating away at our democracy: responsibly and in a way that serves the public, or irresponsibly and in a downright selfish way. Facebook's misconduct when it comes to trafficking blatantly false disinformation is a national crisis in this regard. It is also an unscrupulous act of putting profit above not just our country but all countries.”
