The Stop Hate campaign has a list of demands for Facebook that include creating a separate moderation channel for people who say they’ve been a target because of their race or religion, and releasing data on the volume of hate speech on the platform and what action was taken. Most important, the coalition wants Facebook to stop generating ad revenue from misinformation and harmful content.
The activists have been targeting major advertisers, asking them to support the movement. Unilever, owner of the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s, which is often outspoken about social causes, was also asked to join the campaign. A spokesman for the brand told NBC News: “We are aware of the current boycott and we’re taking the issue seriously. We may be ready to add more specifics.”
The North Face — owned by VF Corp., which also owns Vans and Timberland — carried a message from the NAACP in aabout its decision on Friday: “It is clear that Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, are no longer simply negligent, but in fact, complacent in the spread of misinformation, despite the irreversible damage to our democracy.”
Hayden Brown, CEO of the online freelancing platform Upwork, also joined the protest."We cannot stand by and be complicit to or complacent about the spread of hate, racism and misinformation, and that is why we are supporting the Stop Hate for Profit advocacy campaign, which calls for pausing advertising on all Facebook platforms in the month of July. Upwork will pause advertising on Facebook and Instagram as a part of this campaign," Brown said in a statement.
कांग्रेस सरकार गहलौत गद्दार बाहुबली डाकू गरीब बुजुर्गों विधवा महिलाओं का चौर किस रंडी नीच पापन ने पैदा किया गहलोत डाकू हतयारे को उस रंडी को गाली दूंगा जिसने जुल्मी हतयारे को जन्म दिया
In other words, more censorship. Totalitarians love censorship, and what they fear most is free speech.
*fixed: Facebook faces growing pressure from advertisers (& corporate media) to censor trump & his supporters before Nov election.
نعم
notcapnamerica Fuck Facebook. It's a nazi platform.
Хорошая новость
I’m beginning to see how the nazi’s gained power.
Who defines hate speech? I don’t give a shit what anyone says unless it openly advocating violence. In law enforcement we call those “fighting words”, or assault, yes, threats of violence to another is actually assault, or terroristic threats. Our words can offend but so what
“More” would be great. “Anything” would be a start.
Mark Zuckerberg needs to illustrate integrity and compassion. It can't always be about profits.
Like all the videos of Antifa and their promoters attacking people, or BLM operatives openly calling for violence? Like that?
its the people's fault. it's the fault of each and everyone of us. it was a social networking site now look what we did to it
markzucky can shove it

Zuckerberg must value morality before profit. Otherwise, ultimately this boyish company looses.
What is hate speech? I can't find a legal definition.
Have you reported on this at all?
Hate speech defined is any speech from a conservative that does not align with the left.
Have you reported on this at all?
Blowing up homeless people in NYC, RACISM SOLVED.
They're not going to do anything.
william_pitts claireatki There's a reason Free Speech doesn't extend into shouting 'FIRE' in a crowded space. YOUR Freedoms STOP when you cross the Line & hit ME in the nose! It goes BOTH ways, my FOS/Safety is as important as YOURS. Chew on THAT! GetAClue DialTheRhetoricBack NewlyRegisterdAZDemocrat
claireatki Keep the list going so I know which companies to stop supporting.
claireatki You are prohibited from disconnecting from Facebook under any circumstance. Zuckerberg stalks 7 billion humans WithoutConsent BoycottFacebook is not even possible
claireatki More than publishers, they have perfected mind control. Suicide numbers increased during this 'experiment' to induce negative emotional response.
claireatki Yes!!!!!! I love this. I hope facebook sinks. Run by old man Zuckerburg
claireatki Hate works both ways.
claireatki NBC spews out hate everyday
claireatki why any person or any company is still on FB is beyond me. FB is loathsome.
claireatki Why is facebook censoring muslims? I met a cool muslim dude in facebook and the moment I added him, my account got disabled. Now I can’t make another one... Does Zuccenberg hate islam?
claireatki Facebook should make “Facebook Jr.” for the people that don’t like the constitution.
claireatki Facebook are amazing. They'll ban anyone that even looks 'right wing' while letting astonishing levels of anti-white hatred grow untouched. Really hope that law gets passed. These people need a class action suit of some kind. They aren't platforms any longer - they are carriers.
claireatki I report hatespeech to Twitter and nothing gets done. The fact is that Facebook made their mistake 4yrs ago (The Great Hack documentary) and Twitter still let's hate grow stronger. Report it if it is truly hate speech. Because hate speech is illegal.
claireatki Well done REI 👊🏼
claireatki So proud of these companies for standing up against fascism for hire.
claireatki Hate speech is not free speech.
claireatki Ok. So, smaller businesses in the likes of The North Face, REI, and Patagonia hoping to grow their brand can fill the void.
claireatki I thought this was AMERICA,FREEDOM OF SPEECH.I am so ashamed of these companies & what this country is becoming.
claireatki am i going to start getting in trouble for my hatred of pedophiles, rapists, serial killers, and abusers?
claireatki Free speech means free speech, however vile. Countering bad ideas with better ideas should be the solution, not censorship.
