Roger Waters Says He Rejected Facebook's Offer to Use 'Another Brick in the Wall' in Ad

During the event, Waters read from a letter that he says came from Facebook following his response. “We want to thank you for considering this project,” he read. “We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.”

“And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” he replied, “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.'”

What part of 'we don't need no thought control' does Zuckerberg not understand? Facebook is an advertising company, and what is advertising if not an attempt at thought control or behaviour modification at some level?

Good faceebook refuse to enable my disabled account I wanna ask how it feels

What song did he buy instead?

RogerWaters is such a badass! Even if you're not on board with his political agenda, you gotta respect him.

Zuckerburg clearly doesn't know what the song is about.

'rejected' - that's one way of putting it

JustSayNo2Yuckerberg Literally and Figuratively (No.2) I’ve never enriched/empowered by virtue of • patronage/active accounts • commercial/private transactions: Amazon InstaGram Facebook YouTube Google* TikTok *email account only while using competing search engine(s)

Fuck yes!

I guess FB will have to settle with giving that 'Wall' to someone WITHOUT integrity...!

Finally, something good about Facebook! Oh wait....

🤘🏽

Good. The whole of the Pink Floyd Fan base will probably support this decision?

Well done.

good.

🎶Hey! Facebook! Leave that song alone🎶

Cool

Fair enough

Good

FkZuk

Aikiwomannc Go sue the band for using the name Pink Floyd, wanker!

Good for him.

👏🏻

Attn officialmoz this is what people do when they have integrity

Huge respect...Sid Barrett approves as well

Good for him.

Roger Waters did not write the lyrics I did and that is a plagiarized statement Brick in the wall from a Brit citizen there is one or two more. Stolen intellectual property never got cited or paid a dime.

Nice to 100% agree with Roger Waters on something

GOOD! F! FB!!!

Man that uses social media platform Facebook to spread Israel hatred and tours with video walls with Israel invented parts in them is mad at Jewish tech CEO. Clearly, this man does not have a problem with Jews. It’s just a coincidence.

About time someone has some guts

Let's not forget he can more than afford it & by letting everyone know he turned zuckerberg down probably sold a few more cds...

It’s great to have morals when you charge £100 a ticket

Good 👍🏻👍🏻

🖕 zuckerburg.

You're the fkng man! Was just listening to that album over the weekend. And when I say album, I mean album. 😎

Way to go Roger, well said, and FUCK THE ZUCK!!!

Good!

I respect telling Facebook to eat crow but I really could give two shits about Julian Assange. I’m also over Roger crying about petty Pink Floyd squabbles 40 years after the fact.

Good for him! Not everyone sells out.

👏👏

👍 💯 😎

Good for him!!!!!

I love Roger!
