Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg will soon appear before Congress to address news that Cambridge Analytica harvested the data of 50 million users.

Members should #AskFacebook about its collection, use, sharing of sensitive data. Here’s where they should start: aclu.org/blog/privacy-t…
Why did Facebook ignore warnings to adopt procedures that would have prevented the Cambridge Analytica fiasco?

We warned Facebook to close privacy holes that ultimately led to this incident as far back as 2009. The company ignored those suggestions again and again. #AskFacebook
Why has Facebook still not taken adequate measures to address the Cambridge Analytica incident and prevent future fiascos? The best way to do that is to ensure that users are in control. #AskFacebook
Can Facebook guarantee that its advertising is not illegally excluding individuals from housing, employment, credit, and public accommodation ads based on race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics? #AskFacebook
Mark Zuckerberg in March: “I’m not sure we shouldn’t be regulated.”

So why has Facebook consistently opposed common-sense regulation? What new regulations WILL Facebook support? #AskFacebook
In 2016, we revealed that police surveillance software had access to Facebook and Instagram user data. When will Facebook notify users who were impacted, and clarify what safeguards will make sure this doesn't happen again? #AskFacebook
Why does Facebook track and profile millions of people who have never even created an account? Facebook doesn’t give these people the opportunity to learn what data is being collected on them. #AskFacebook
When a company disregards demands for privacy and functionality, users should be able to remove their data in a usable format so they can join another service that offers stronger privacy benefits.

What steps is Facebook taking to make user data more portable? #AskFacebook
Will Facebook pledge not to target advertisements based on detailed, intimate data extracted from users’ faces in images and videos? Will Facebook commit to not allowing the government or third parties to use this technology, and informing the public if that changes? #AskFacebook
We need answers to these questions. Facebook users deserve to know how their data is being used and how Facebook will protect it in the future. #AskFacebook

You’re completely wrong, President Trump — about sexual abuse and its reporting.

To all those who are survivors of sexual assault: We hear you and we’re with you.
Facts DO matter. Thread 👇

Rape is the most under-reported crime. 63% of sexual assaults are not reported to police. Only 12% of child sexual abuse is reported to the authorities.
Survivors of sexual assault don’t report because they fear law enforcement will dismiss their claims. aclu.org/blog/womens-ri…

Today the government submitted a new plan to locate the hundreds of parents whom it deported without their kids. We've negotiated with them on several fronts, but a huge issue remains 👇
The government is arguing that deported parents and children can only be reunited in their countries of origin.

This means that parents won't be able to resume asylum claims and children may have to forfeit theirs.
This is especially troubling as parents may have been misled or coerced into waiving asylum rights, believing that it would bring back their children faster.

Let’s have a conversation about ‘honesty.’

THREAD 👇
Donald Trump is the same president who, as a candidate, told supporters he would “open up our libel laws” to sue journalists. In fact, he promised: “We’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before.” politico.com/blogs/on-media…
Donald Trump is also the same president who, as a candidate, blacklisted reporters and entire news outlets from campaign events, referred to journalists as scum and slime, and mocked a reporter’s disability. cnn.com/2016/05/31/pol…

BREAKING: In challenge to Sessions' policy of denying asylum protection to immigrants fleeing domestic violence and gang brutality, the judge blocked the government from deporting our clients as he considers the case.

However, disturbing news came to light during the hearing.
While in court, we found out that the government had deported a client and her young child just hours before, putting their lives at risk.

This directly contradicts the government's commitment to the court that NO ONE would be removed until tomorrow at the earliest.
The judge ordered the government to turn the plane around and bring the asylum-seeking mother and child back to the US.

He said that if the situation wasn't fixed he would consider contempt proceedings — starting with the attorney general.

The House Committee on Appropriations just advanced a bill today that would increase the DHS’s budget for next year to a total of $51.4 billion, including $5 billion for Trump’s border wall.
If adopted by Congress, this would increase the budget for ICE and CBP — the agencies responsible for family separation and the mass detention and deportation of immigrants.
Today Reps decided that their priority is to continue funding the administration’s war on immigrants using taxpayer dollars to tear families apart, terrorize immigrant communities, and further militarize our border with an ineffective and harmful wall.

🚨 Update on our family separation case:
The Trump administration failed to meet the deadline to reunite all kids under 5. We’ve asked the court for specific remedies to ensure this does not happen again.

We won't allow the government to waste time. #FamiliesBelongTogether
The administration claims to have reunited 58 children as of today. The government said they would give us notice of a time and place for each reunification so that we could arrange for nonprofits to be onsite to help families and verify reunifications.

That didn't happen.
Not only did the government fail to give notice, we heard reports of troubling situations, including ICE leaving a parent and kids, one of whom is 6 months old, alone at a bus stop.

The government's lack of communication caused hardship for families who have been through enough.
