And it has caught Zuckerberg's attention. He has agreed to meet with the groups behind Stop Hate for Profit, Facebook said on Wednesday. "Hate and dangerous online misinformation should not go unchecked," Volkswagen Group of America said in a statement on Tuesday."We expect our advertising partners to reflect our values, and Volkswagen — as well as other companies — must hold them to the same standards we demand of ourselves."
But the group has struggled in the past at"fully breaking through to the public and to those in government about how dangerous this platform is," Robinson acknowledged. Now, he said,"we are breaking through in a new way."
As a anarcho leftist, nothing excites me more than seeing the mega corporation conglomerate whipping the last major platform that slightly supports the evil free speech (which allows people to disagree with us aka hate speech) into line. Now this is freedom for the workers!
Talk about online bullying...
It's time for consumers to do the same they should stop spending money on companies who support Donald Trump. We as consumers have much more power when we are united. I'm going to be looking very hard and I groceries appliances and even where I buy gas
''IT'S TIME FOR ALL,ALL OF US PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH'' IF YOU HAVE A '' FACEBOOK ACCOUNT'' KNOWING WHAT THEY DO THEN YOU ARE A ''LIAR JUST TO KICK IT'' AND YOU ARE JUST HAS BAD HAS ''FACEBOOK''......
Zuk doesn’t care. He’s probably like Donnie boy, anything to make money regardless how society gets affected.
Yay
Facebook has become a cesspool for Trumper's hate posts. I 'unfollow', 'hide' & 'block' but they keep showing back up in my feed. Time to move on. Very sad!!!
Facebook must not bow down to the systematic left oppression like this. Facebook needs to be open and support free speech.
Excellent.
FB has doubled down...Zuckerburg said that this small percentage of advertisers will come back eventually and won't harm their bottom line. PLEASE large corps make him regret that. And PLEASE try mewe ...the more of us that go, the less we rely on FB.
Finally some good news
Is this about the time in history, where Zuck makes that 'pivot' and has a form of 'soul-searching' within himself, seeing the err of his ways thus far? 🙄
BAVO!!!
Thank you Microsoft , adidas , Ford , LEGO_Group , ConsumerReports , and all companies making this move
Yeah
People want their time back.
ANCHORSEND1 There is no such thing as hate speech. If it does not include bodily harm to another, then the people who hear it need to mind their own business and move on to something that agrees with them. GrowUp ~ J
Can fb actually exist without having these kind of propaganda and notorious conversations? Or is it an algorithm made to boost these posts in order to keep people on the platform and monetise big time ok them hype FacebookBoycott
👏 long overdue
Leftists are so fragile in their positions that they have to silence conservative voices on social media under the guise of calling it “hate speech” Democrats are bankrupt on policies so they have to cheat. (By the way, it won’t work)
We should abandon facebook once and for all
Know the risks...
for 30 days only. It more PC bullshit
defundFacebook
Bout damn time
If we could do away with Facebook and Fox News the world would be much better off. Facebook Fox
I hope you and facebook and all employees bite the dust ..... you pervert 6 blocks of Seattle will take all of you.
I find it interesting that Volkswagen, a business founded by the labor organization under the Nazi party, is quoted here, saying “Hate and dangerous online misinformation should not go unchecked.” 🤦🏾♀️
Should do the same for foreign owned fake fox.
DefundNPR
Good!
DeleteFacebook Facebook
noele68 This is a start. But, Facebook makes the bulk of their money off of our data. STOP BUYING DATA FROM FACEBOOK!
All you have to do is check in on npr daily for fake news and raciest propaganda
That's gotta hurt. Somewhat.
On FB, 95% of the hate that I see, especially with obscenity, is directed at TRUMP. Because I want to attack Trump w/ ISSUES I dislike it. NPR & the big brands are faddish PC bullies. Many people fed up w/ precisely that elected Trump. Is this how you would re-elect him?
If FB holds true to protecting the security and and privacy of their users' accounts, regardless of losing advertising revenue, I will change my mind about. And maybe social media, too.
BasedMelania If I were Zuckerberg I'd make advertising on FB & Instagram a whole lot more expensive for them. They need him more than he needs them. Woke corporations can go fuck themselves.
👏👏👏
Walk away!
Why is everyone blaming facebook when you have a choice to use it or not. Talk to friends or do what you want on it. You don’t go into a NIKE store and blame them for buying to much stuff lol, or eat a BigMac and blame McDonald’s for gaining weight.
should call him salzberg instead
Cool, but pretty sure they’re still gonna be advertising on Instagram though, soo... 👀
FB is not a platform any more as they PUBLISH outside media sources from many nations worldwide..
We are the customers, did Facebook forget that?
Liberal left always threatening to hurt or kill their enemies DeepState
Now they are starting to eat there own
Take the whole thing down. It’s just manipulation. boycottfacebook
FB is a right-wing cesspool
To say nothing of all of us users who DO NOT LOG ON. Done with Facebook.
Must be why FB up almost 4% today. 😕
Good, now stop advertising on all social media, we literally don't care.
$FB ok?
You know what would get Facebook’s attention even more? If USERS boycotted en masse. That will drive away the advertisers who aren’t already boycotting, and it will make this stick. putdownfacebook
I see more hateful comments on this thread than what any conservative would say.
Thanks to those advertisers for boycotting Facebook and doing the right thing.
StevePasquale Good!!!! It’s about time!!
Good
Another spin: companies that were going to cut down on advertising anyway now have an excuse to do so without making it look like it comes from a position of weakness. They also get some free advertising from the publicity stunt.
Facebook censors conservatives. I KNOW FIRSTHAND. MY father, grandfather ,great great, Gpas fought for all to have free speech, not just the ones they agreed with. This should be a unifying moment for us all.
More than 400 companies pull advertising from Facebook because they won’t censor free speech. Insane.
YES!! Speak up corporate America. Fulfill your civic duty on behalf of all Americans. Thank you!
'hate speech and other harmful content' = any criticism, disagreement, or mockery of Democrats and the news media puppets. This is fascism. Democrats are fascists.
When FB first came out it was so fresh and fun to catch up with old friends and family. Now it’s a site where judgement and hate is the new normal.
Advertising on Facebook has become the equivalent of late night independent television, where all the ginsu knife & miracle car wash commercials live.
NOW THEY WANNA SWITCHUP
'hate speech' is defined as anything the left objects to.
NPR the President IGNORES the killing of soldiers, rising GAS & grocery prices, COVID19 Herd Immunity continuing to kill by the 1,000s, Main Street frontline pay & unemployment! Is wasting tax $ on a wall you can tunnel under AND FUNDS statues of an economy based on slavery. WHY
As always, as in any conversation like this, who are the arbiters of acceptable speech?
Good.... There is alot of misinformation being spread. Like widespread racism ? Democrats always incite racism. It's in um. They are the party of slavery. And to this day they support slavery by way of they push for welfare and social programs. YouAintBlack
Goooooooooooood!
I won't even use FB but this is a bad move by the companies, you're kneeling to the mob! The silent majority is watching. Ford maybe more/better innovation on your trucks!? Ford Chieftain
So now that Trump supporters have taken to FB, there is a problem with it? Maybe those corporations that have a problem with it should just fess up about their cheap labor schemes before folks find out & they are boycotted?
Yes. Thank you money - that's the biggest thing seems to move things. unfortunately.
Oh look, nobody cares.
Hot 'em where it hurts -- the pocketbook.
Good
Fakebook is one of the reasons micropenis tRUMP is in office. They allowed he lies to grow and idiots believed it because it was on Fakebook. socialmedialies
The downfall of Facebook.
Sad that MarkZuckerberg has to be forced to be a decent human being! FacebookBoycott facebookads
BLM is a terrorist organization!!
You love to see it.
Please halt more advertising. Can only be better for users. Lol!
Can we just throw Zuckerburg into a dumb ster already?
About f time.
Love this
It's about time.
