Facebook's civil rights critics call for ads boycott - Business Insider

Several civil rights and other advocacy groups are calling on large advertisers to stop Facebook ad campaigns during July because they say the social network isn't doing enough to curtail racist and violent content on its platform.

The groups in the launched Wednesday, include Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Sleeping Giants, Color Of Change, Free Press and Common Sense. "It is clear that Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, are no longer simply negligent, but in fact, complacent in the spread of misinformation, despite the irreversible damage to our democracy. Such actions will upend the integrity of our elections as we head into 2020," said NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson in a statement.

The groups say that Facebook amplifies white supremacists, allows posts that incite violence and contain political propaganda and misinformation, and doesn't stop "bad actors using the platform to do harm." They want to apply public pressure on Facebook to "stop generating ad revenue from hateful content, provide more support to people who are targets of racism and hate, and to increase safety for private groups on the platform.

As it faces criticism for its policy of allowing politicians to post false information, including about voting, the company is to boost US voter turnout.

He's a robot. Look at that face

Just more censorship from the left and their cancel culture

'Donald Trump has enlisted his favorite oligarch, Mark Zuckerberg, and said all hands off, as long as you hand me the election and then like have a bunch of people, feign concern. Basically Facebook's going red.' Pivot ScottGalloway Facebook

Facebook sucks ass if they weren't a monopoly we could all quit them

Zuckerberg’s a bag.

Indeed, not only FB, but the whole Social Media Ecosystem. All of them did an irreversible damage, not only to the American Democracy but to governance all over the world and have put in risk the very roots of Civilization nowadays.

I boycott Facebook since 2005 when I had a College Invite only Account. I had an account and my profile picture was with me holding a Desert Eagle I was kicked off. I never went back.

Quit Facebook and never look back!

“Civil rights groups” ...
