Facebook frustrates advertisers as boycott over hate speech kicks off

on Wednesday, after the failure of last-ditch talks to stop a boycott over hate speech on the site.

U.S. civil rights groups including the Anti-Defamation League, NAACP and Color of Change started the "Stop Hate for Profit" campaign after the death of Floyd, a Black man who died under the knee of a white police officer last month. Facebook executives have reached out to chief executives, board members and chief marketing officers of major advertisers to talk them out of the boycott, two people briefed on the discussions told Reuters. All the sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.The boycott will be a test for advertisers on how to reach billions of consumers without relying on the largest social media platform in the world, an executive at a major ad agency said.

Lack of focus. Focus on criminal Justice reform and law enforcement training. Outlaw batons, tasers, chokeholds, kicking, knee kicks, sitting on prisoners. Empty at least 50% of prisons. None fix all the problems but are a good first step. Focus

This should blow up for companies...

Instead of getting rid of the hate speech, some content should be devoted to teaching critical thought. If hate speech is not there, it will be somewhere else. Teach them how to think of it, and it doesn't matter where it is. That's sort of what mr. Madison was talking about

The People demand censorship and the end of free speech

facebook has outsourced its content moderation entirely to outsourcing firms like accenture, wipro, taskus and more. It should start owning its responsibilities and eat its own dog food. Outsourcing firms are just order takers and add no value.

In defense of Facebook note they have a team that grew from 60 people to 16,000 pairs of eyeballs screening content all day long. What other company does this? What do you want your kids or husbands to see less ? Sophie' s choice means someone always is unprotected.

Can someone tell me how much money the Coca-Cola Company has lost because of the global shutdown or bars and restaurants? I just want to know if they stopped advertising because the world has gone racist over the past 3 weeks or because they can't afford to anymore.

Facebook frustrates advertisers as boycott over hate speech kicks offAdvertisements for more than 400 brands including Coca-Cola and Starbucks are due to vanish from Facebook on Wednesday, after the failure of last-ditch talks to stop a boycott over hate speech on the site. Facebook deserved to be demolished, but how a media(?) to decide nature of a post or reply? What amazes me is not the entry mob.. NO. Is the fact that Facebook is trying to keep a clean and safe space open to all by telling you that you can have your close spaces if the content are not according to their policies that protect children from adult content. Facebook can't control what it's users post, that only means Facebook must be shut down. It's like the left wants facebook to control its users minds.
