In an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg published Wednesday, the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim urged the Facebook CEO to remove harassment and conspiracy theories from the platform, accusing him of “providing a safe haven for hate.”
Lenny Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa — whose 6-year-old son Noah was killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012 — published the letter in The Guardian.
“Our son Noah no longer has a voice, nor will he ever get to live out his life. His absence is felt every day,” they wrote. “But we are unable to properly grieve for our baby or move on with our lives because you, arguably the most powerful man on the planet, have deemed that the attacks on us are immaterial, that providing assistance in removing threats is too cumbersome, and that our lives are less important than providing a safe haven for hate.”
