A,

YouTube is turning over its homepage advertising to the Trump campaign on Election Day. When Americans go to the polls, Trump will be broadcasting his hateful lies and conspiracy theories on the world’s biggest social media platform.

Facebook and Twitter have already banned political ads in the election run-up in a desperate attempt to stem the tide of disinformation. But YouTube has decided to hand Donald Trump a megaphone instead.

If there is a massive public outcry, we can force YouTube to pull the plug on Trump and ditch all political ads for the duration of the election. We need you to join the call:

YouTube: pull the plug on... Trump!

Insiders say that YouTube considered replacing political ads on the homepage with 'Get Out the Vote' ads but company bosses slapped down the idea.

With YouTube’s reach even bigger than Facebook, it’s hard to fathom how company bosses can defend such a reckless decision.

In the last two weeks alone, Facebook has banned Holocaust deniers and QAnon conspiracists thanks to millions of people demanding action. We’ve got these social media giants on the run -- now’s the time to double down on YouTube.

Add your voice: YouTube, pull the plug on Trump and ditch all political ads!

Thanks for all that you do,
Vicky and the team at SumOfUs
