On Wednesday, more than 500 companies officially kicked off an advertising boycott intended to pressure Facebook into taking a stronger stand against hate speech. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to meet with its organizers early next week.

But whether Zuckerberg agrees to further tighten the social network's carefully crafted rules probably boils down to a more fundamental question: Does Facebook need big brand advertisers more than the brands need Facebook?

"Many businesses told us how they had been ignored when asking Facebook for changes," campaign organizers wrote in a letter to advertisers this week. "Together, we finally got Facebook's attention." Clegg, however, offered few concessions, and instead repeated Zuckerberg's frequent talking point that "the only way to hold the powerful to account is ultimately through the ballot box." He pointed to Facebook's get-out-the-vote efforts as evidence of the company's commitment, along with the billions of dollars, tens of thousands of content moderators and other investments it has made in trying to improve its platform.

Zukky boy deleted many legit account few months ago in bid to his money laundry crypto. This guy needs to be stopped. Fb is junk center anyways.

So how go they decide which is offensive which ever side of politics they like or race or gender

it's not so fun being demonised is it social media? :P

Lol of course they can

Everyone Facebook working with the Islam terrorist organization group and selling all your information to the Islam terrorist organization group shame to owner of Facebook

Short answer is no. Besides Zuckerberg is on the right side of history on this issue. Why would anyone want a tech company deciding what they can read or discuss? Scarily, Zuckerberg may be just the hero this messed up world needs.

Geee we are going let corporations dictate ethics . So how are these golden parachutes 🪂 are . Maybe they should clean up there own act . If people starting to scrutinize them . You think 🤔

you say it that way and I say how many more till the entire platform folds

So this is not an authoritarian measure that infringes on freedom of speech?....hypocrites

Were about to embark through a glass bottom boat

Good riddance Facebook

That depends if Zuckerberg WANTS to fix it.

Who gives a shit.

Facebook is trash don't miss it

facebook needs a user boycott

I’m sure the ads will hurt, but what will hurt them more is if they continue to block and delete regular every day conservatives. Removing 50% of the users from your service will surely have an impact.

Defund Facebook

the short answer is yes. It can hold out for years but the long answer is why would it want to? Being stupid and stubborn will cost it billions all because the founder is a racist idiot in chief? That wont last much longer before the board puts pressure on him to make changes

Who gives a rat's ass. Seriously. A more germain question is whether can report...news.

If not Facebook then another apps. Did Facebook help financially the Americans during pandemic crisis?

If that’s where the people go that’s where the money will flow. General rule of economic fluid dynamics.

No. It’s yucky

I hope not

Facebook can negatively impact the sales of every company boycotting them with very little effort.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a Liberal Elite tied to the Clintons, the Gates, Fauci, WHO WHO , the CDC, and Big Pharma. He has made his own bed, now he has to lie on it. There are unpleasant consequences his actions and decisions. BIG MISTAKE MARK!!!

Boycott the companies that are boycotting😁

If they can’t, they’re founded on a lie.

They started without them.

The world should be done with facebook.

I hope not! DeleteFacebook BoycottFacebook

Yep. They have your photos.

Boycott Facebook

If people start to wake up and delete their personal profiles on Facebook by the millions, there's a good chance of that happening. Then there will be no reason for anyone to advertise on that platform. It's up to the sheep to kill this corrupted giant of shit. BanFacebook

I hope not...

Shares up 4.5% today, $675 billion USD market cap... so yes.

Pretty much don’t care.

I hope not!

Watch Hoaxed. It explains everything that is going on right now.

I hope not.
