HUGE news -- 160 companies, including
mega-giants Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Unilever have
announced this week that they're suspending all Facebook
ads!
It's an unprecedented response to the tech giant's
disastrous disinformation and hate speech policies, which
have already impacted elections and fueled real-life racist
violence.
Facebook is in full panic-mode -- 99% of their revenue comes from
ads. Now they're doing damage control but the movement is picking up
steam.
If we can get more corporate giants -- like Proctor and Gamble,
the world's largest advertiser -- to join right now, we could
finally get the critical Facebook reform we've needed for
years. But we need to push before the momentum
drops -- add your name and share everywhere:
Tell
companies: Suspend your Facebook advertisements until it cleans up
its act!
Facebook has seemed totally unwilling or incapable of tackling
the platform's problems. But now companies big and small are facing
their own reckoning about systems of oppression,
and many are taking note of Facebook’s hand in
it.
Just for example, Facebook has allowed incitement to violence
against protesters in the US; turned a blind eye to blatant voter
suppression; fanned the flames of genocide in Myanmar; and refused
to call Holocaust denial "hate".
Reform is badly needed. And since Facebook is almost
entirely dependent on ad money, this campaign will soon pose a
crippling financial threat if Facebook execs don't
rethink their approach.
Massive advertisers like Proctor & Gamble are on the fence
right now, but could be pushed to join -- this is our chance to
build the Facebook the world needs. Add your
name:
Tell
companies: Suspend your Facebook advertisements until it cleans up
its act!
Our community was made for moments like this -- when pressuring
companies to act leads to insurmountable impact. Let’s do it again,
and help be the guiding light for how companies should move through
and engage with the digital age.
