Facebook VP on ad boycott: We have 'no incentive' to allow hate speech

New York Facebook is facing an advertising boycott unlike anything the company has experienced in recent history. A growing list of advertisers have signed onto the #StopHateForProfit campaign, protesting what they say are Facebook's failures to stop the spread of hate.

The companies pulling ads from the site now include some of Facebook's biggest advertisers, such as Verizon , Unilever and Starbucks . But on CNN's"Reliable Sources" Sunday, Facebook Vice President for Public Affairs Nick Clegg pushed back on the premise of the boycott. Clegg skirted a question about how damaging the protest has been for Facebook, arguing instead that the social media giant does not benefit from the proliferation of hate speech on its platform.

I have no time for Facebook. I’m done with it

Debbie Edwards in Missouri started talking. Ya know women can't keep their tougnes tied for long.

My son will be released on his own resources. Because he has a job waiting. To drag queen is not American

What facebook is doing is hiding all their little alt right military personel that have infiltrated their company. We know those not right leaning could be blocked for sneezing if reported.

To bad Sara I have two children also. Looks like u have a situation dear. Handle by yourself. B. O. R. N. I am so.immature ,you said at the kitchen table I am going to steal from you. So leave my children alone ok. Over 18 they are , so r yours. Stop whinning

Calling someone racist is hate speech. Offensive. Politically incorrect. Ban racist and racism.

I am moving away from Facebook Facebook at too many problems can I do community work and I don't think you know the difference of community work I just move it away from me too many problems

ManniSharen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was permanently suspended for telling HRC to go to hell. Classified as 'hate conduct '. Fck off.

Opinions aren’t hate speech! Stop stomping on free speech! If the words aren’t promoting violence, than leave them alone.

Now they want to address hate speech toward white and asian americans? After the damage is done? Be careful who you keep as friends on and off facebook...cut people off and block them...your friends will deceive you.

I hate broccoli, ban me.

Tory sellout says what?

They'll tolerate hate speech. Just only towards certain kinds of people.

lol

When someone said “I’m gonna whoops this white boy ass” is that a hate speech ?

Shame on him! He brushed the issue aside in the past free speech or some get out clause! Now they want to act after money is pulling out! Clegg sold out for political power he did the same with Facebook! Ignore & spin

The ONLY reason changes are being made at this late stage is bc Zuckerberg is losing money! Sold your souls to the devil & too late now. Hitting FB in the wallet should have occurred ages ago. Zuckerberg is a Trumper & believes the same racist narcissistic trash as Trump

SMBWhitney Zuckerberg had an army of employees focused on taking out Warren’s campaign because she advocated breaking up big tech Zuckerberg let’s extremists like Ben Shapiro break “rules” to amplify his propaganda, while censoring true ads about Trump FB is an enemy of the people

If CNN hates hate speech then why do you keep broadcasting all that hate aimed at realDonaldTrump ?

They’re losing accounts... perm deleted mine .. desperate

How about facebook stop targeting black peoples posts while propagating hate post? either your BOT is trained to target blacks or your staff. I'm currently blocked on FB and no reason was given. Yes, I try to make people understand BLM.

Too late! Zuckerberg has shown his true colours and what a coward he is. The only reason he’s acting now is because of all the money Facebook is losing from companies that are dropping their advertising. The little boy has no real morals, so I say BoycottFacebook
