Facebook has become more powerful than any other non government in the world. The company is run by a few persons that are far removed from reality. In the process it has become an unregulated monopoly who sets what’s right and wrong. It time the TheJusticeDept to break.
Re; Facebook. Most of the companies wanting to boycott advertising on FB, hate POTUS They do not really believe in anything, they just want everyone to hate conservatives, the way they do. Ben and Gerry's, please. In this fight, I'll side with FB, Never Kneel. AmericaFirst
Bravo
Patagonia, a great company that has done so many great philanthropy efforts. In this case this is a vote against free speech. I can’t believe I’m defending zuckerberg and I loathe FB... that said, I will be discontinuing my 30 years of brand loyalty with Patagonia
The Patagonia and the North Face customer base is upper middle class White people who aspire to dress like international adventurers. They are fake costumes for suburban wannabes.
I support other companies who want to boycott for the month of July Facebook
Excellent news! Fakebook HateBook Facebook
Ditch Facebook. Free yourselves.
Oh good! Less competition...
I deleted my account that I have had for several years. Not going back. Twitter only now. Facebook only cares about profit
Do you stop building car because people drive then into crowds? Let's hold the right person responsible. Will you do this type if blame I'd the company is abroad? If so how?
RubyGonzales2 REI next?
'We make our products all over the world, including China, which has been rightly and roundly criticized for all sorts of shortcomings. China is not alone in this regard. Some of the other countries we work in also have poor records for protecting the environment & workers rights
Facebook will never change unless people start leaving in large numbers. Why would they? They're making billions.
WOW Facebook lies. But I thought everyone said they rigged Trumps election.
This is why Patagonia should vote Republican
This year I will get a new Patagonia coat!
Very good!
Posting this on twitter screams of irony.
Essentially the brands boycotting Facebook belong to a single category, outdoorswear.
It really needs to be longer than a month , otherwise is seems like a virtue signalling . A real statement would be to never advertise with them again .
That's fine with me. I'm glad to see that Mark Zuckerberg is not folding. He set a standard, And he is not succumbing to social pressure. But these companies they definitely have.
So, basically FB is saying Eff you very much but you don't give us enough money to give a sh*t?
RockyMntnMike Until FB stops being a Russian Useful Idiot I have adopted a policy of not doing business with any company that I see advertising on FB. Just mark all FB ads 'Irrelevant'
Odd they didn't boycott when Trump assassinated Soleimani & Facebook permanently censored those who condemned the murder.
Good I could use less adds in my timeline anyways.
I will be boycotting Facebook advertising as well!
Actually they sound kind of like fascists 🤔
Facebook is a Contaminated Garbage Truck Driven by Reckless People
Using FB is lame. But I'm glad you all do bc the stock is a winner
So Patagoina, which produces the majority of its product in China at factories tied to child and slave labor, wants to pretend they have a conscience.....
We are boycotting FB Ads too. RedPin Management
Another reason to love Patagonia....Facebook doesn't even try to excuse their intricate web of RIGHT wing lies and conspiracy theories. DeleteFacebook!
There stuff is overpriced anyway.
