Brands including Upwork, Patagonia, REI and The North Face will stop buying ads on Facebook and Instagram as part of the StopHateforProfit campaign

said earlier this month they would stop advertising on Facebook. The social network has come under fire for not doing enough to address hate speech, racism and anti-semitism on its platforms. “We deeply respect any brand’s decision, and remain focused on the important work of removing hate speech and providing critical voting information,” said Carolyn Everson, vice president of Facebook’s global business group.

One way this can be addressed is through the antitrust laws and challenging companies that engage in monopolistic practices.” Social media companies deny harboring any political bias.on the websites ZeroHedge and The Federalist as one example of supposed bias. Barr’s Justice Department has been probing Google as part of an antitrust investigation into the tech industry, and a lawsuit could come as soon as next month.

Whenever Facebook is contacted regarding a hate post they should immediately react and remove it. That didn’t happen in my family‘s case. We had to get the FBI involved. Finally they removed it. It’s just ridiculous.

blackrock BlackRock_News ,you own 159,221,271 shares of $FB stock! What do you guys plan to do? What are you doing to combat hate and SystemicRacism StopHateForProfit You can start by divesting in Facebook Please Retweet! BlackRock SHORT IT!

Thank you. Upwork, patagonia, REI, thenorthface Please keep it up. We support you in NOT supporting Facebook. $ is the only thing they respond to! StopHateforProfit

What about the companies who advertise on Fox...the propaganda network?

The DOJ and SEC should SeizeFacebookDomain perform a domain name seizure on confiscate the domain because it is used in the commission of a CRIME!

BRAVO

But let me guess they will plaster BLM logos all over its platforms, an org whose mission includes the prospect of violence. We will boycott every brand pandering to the mob. Thanks for listing yourself we know what not to buy.

2/2 You see as $FB stock price drops it actually creates more buying opportunities, thus increasing volume. Once the election is over and the cameras stops rolling, FB still comes out ahead.

1/2 Playing right into Trump’s hands. He has black leaders focused on what he post on FB instead of those more important Senate races. This does not hurt Facebook, this does not hurt Trump or the Republican party this hurt Facebook shareholders.

These companies are damaging their own brands and losing sales. More fool them,

If FB is monetizing my data, technically I should get a piece of the action. I expect to see pay checks from FB or else I’m leaving the platform. It’s only fair to go 50/50 on my data.

Thank UUU North Face ⁉️I Now Will Continue Buying Ur Product👍💯❤️!

I wish it will be a great sign that FB should treat it seriously esp. in HK. Many of HK citizens who said they love China (so-called Blue Ribbon) created pages to dehumanize and spread their hate speeches to HongKongProtesters . In the mean time HK FB acquiesce these acts.

everything connected to fox needs to be stopped, too. in fact, even the fox species say they did not authorize the use of their name for such hate either.

It had to happen in order to stop these so called social networking platform from spreading fake propagandas.There is a new wave And people have started to understand the need of a new social platform which focuses on privacy and security related issues. ComingSoon sosocialapp

StopHateForProfit The problem with existing ad platforms is the two-faced nature - Facebook : Social Media / Advertising Twitter: Short Form Social Media / Advertising Google : Search / Advertising. Only way to 100% ensure brand safety is to separate content and ads.

Yes!

Trump fires Geoffrey Berman, top federal prosecutor in Manhattan after he refused to resign, Barr saysAttorney General William Barr informed Geoffrey Berman that President Donald Trump was removing him from office after the prosecutor refused to resign. Corruption by the Trump administration. Obama purged all such offices when he took office. Both sides please. Your bias is showing. Trump is in the manufacturing of untruth business. He’ll come up with anything that serves his interest. Question is what are GOP operatives going to do about it? Trump can’t execute his deceptions alone. Go after Trump’s enablers (esp. Barr). Trump is a lost cause.
