Just The News: Corporations are protesting alleged flaws in the company’s content moderation policies.
Coca-Cola, Hershey and Honda have agreed to roll back advertising on Facebook through July, part of a coordinated campaign to force the tech giant to enact stricter content-moderation policies on its platform.
The “Stop Hate for Profit” campaign argues that Facebook has “turned a blind eye to blatant voter suppression,” “allowed incitement to violence against protesters fighting for racial justice in America,” partnered with conservative news outlets with “records of working with known white nationalists,” and in general promoted “hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism and violence.”
Dozens of businesses have also agreed to the boycott including the Mozilla, North Face, REI and Verizon.
The boycott, a project of the Anti-Defamation League, offers several tips it argues will help Facebook “provide more support to people who are targets of racism, antisemitism and hate.” READ MORE
“provide more support to people who are targets of racism, antisemitism and hate.”
Like White males?
Just another big list of companies to stop doing business with….. for me that is Verizon and Mozilla……. fukc ’em.
Accusing FakeBook of supporting anything white is like claiming the favorite snack in Mecca is a ham sandwich.
It’s good to see these assholes chopping each others operations into kindling in the failed hope that the crocodile they keep feeding won’t soon eat them.
I’m so tired of the bullshit virtue signaling, the left and the stupidity of the sheeple.
Make sure to help companies that are NOT on these lists.
Macy’s seems to have dropped their political activism.
I don’t see AT&T on there.
Just sent a nasty note to Firefox (actually mothership Mozilla) explaining my displeasure. What pisses me off the most is that we conservatives never do a damn thing about this crap. The left knows they never have to actually boycott any of their victims because conservatives won’t respond in kind even though if just 20% of conservatives could counter boycott and they would be the ones the the companies would start to listen to. All it takes is one campaign. If that can be done the next would be easier and the one after that. Pretty damn soon you wouldn’t have to boycott because companies would stop listening to political groups from either side and start paying attention to the bottom line.
Pass the irony popcorn. Yes, we all know that they are boycotting because FB isn’t being hard enough on conservatives
If addressing hate speech was what this movement was really about, I’d support it, too. But it’s not. It’s about calling all conservative views hate speech and shutting it down.
These organizations are going to rue the day they chose leftist peer pressure over their conservative customers.
I reckon the vast majority do NOT support antifa, blm etc.
So how does corporate pandering to these subversives benefit the companies?
Maybe a good, old-fashioned “Fuck you!” would work better.
It’s worth a try.
