, pressuring large companies to halt advertising with a social media site they say doesn’t stop “bad actors using the platform to do harm” at least through the month of July.
North Face was the first big brand to join the boycott on July 19—which has since spread to include Facebook-owned Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat for some, with a number of companies saying they won’t spend with social media through the rest of the year or longer until tangible changes are made to address the campaign’s concerns.
Over 100 companies, including LEGO Group, Dunkin Donuts, PopSockets Europe and Consumer Reports, joined the boycott on Wednesday; following a slew of major announcements this week from Target, Best Buy, Pfizer, Ford, Adidas, Clorox, Chobani and more that they would join an unfriending list of over 500 brands that collectively spend hundreds of millions of dollars with Facebook every year.
The companies are going to reduce and stop advertising because of recession anyway...
This news unfortunately has done little to affect the stock thanks in part to instagram and WhatsApp Also, small businesses make up more of their revenue.
So if I understand your piece, promoting violence and racism is ok content for social media as long as it comes from the left. Thanks for clarifying. By the way, given their anti-conservative bias, I am just as pleased as the leftists that FB is getting boycotted. Common ground!
I find it amazing that now that they are losing money they are ready to act, it's idiotic of them to say the least ........
