https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/crowdtangle-petition/
Meta has announced it will be abandoning CrowdTangle, its industry leading transparency tool, this August - in the middle of the biggest election year on record.
CrowdTangle is used by thousands of researchers, journalists and advocates to monitor political disinformation and hate speech
Together with 176 other organizations, researchers and journalists, Mozilla is calling on Meta to rethink the decision.And Meta’s already feeling the pressure
Open letter
Meta wants to replace CrowdTangle with new tools – but currently, these tools don’t provide the transparency, insights and search capabilities offered by CrowdTangle and, most importantly, currently only a small number of researchers have access to it
