More companies are joining the call to halt advertising on Facebook despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlining several steps the social network will take to combat hate speech.

Among the planned steps: pushing back against voter suppression, boosting standards for hateful content in ads, and labeling content deemed newsworthy.

After Coke joined the boycott, Rashad Robinson, president of civil rights organization Color Of Change, tweeted:"One of the most recognizable global brands in the world is halting their @Facebook advertising. Coke's commitment to #StopHateForProfit, along with Unilever and Verizon just in the last 24 hours, is a warning sign for Facebook."

Zuckerberg said any posts that would typically violate their policies but remain on the platform will include a label noting the content they are sharing may violate their policies.

 

Merci pour votre commentaire. Votre commentaire sera publié après examen.

I’ll believe it when I see it. After taking a break for 90 days...

Get rid of all social media and mental health will improve

FB ran these over and over for 5 years.

Hate speech, according to who’s definition? Some anti-God, atheistic, liberal minds interpretation of it? It won’t be long and the liberals will call the Bible hate speech. Hell is a long long time. Be careful.

TOO LATE MR ZUCKERBERG!! You have strung them along for TOO LONG and they have had enough of the disengenuous prevarication. They now know your moral and ethical compass is entirely focused on money and only money and they are taking the money away.

👏👏👏👏👏

zuckerberg is ass some can say things and get away with it some can't he needs to grow a set

His steps are to 'add a link' in small font to a resource that no one clicks.

It’s a strange time to hear liberals cheering to have free speech banned or filtered...all under the disguise of “hate speech”. Oh how the times have changed.

Only when he started losing money.

Is his definition of Hate Speech the same as the FBI/Justice system or What?

When there is no one left on FB they will be advertising to themselves.

About DAMN time !!! Start with TRUMP ! Facebook

Book it face to face.

Fantastic news! HERR Zuck must have some Indian heritage... He speak with forked 👅.. Action(s) prior hold more relevance than empty words!

Who defines “hate speech”?

Companies are finally realizing that Fakebook is being used by TheimpeachedOne. They helped him win in 2016 and are helping him again by spreading misinformation and hate DeleteFacebookNOW,

Jealous anti authority reactions from companies in high public dependence/ debt with their fully hedged companies.

Good luck with that. It just won’t work

Little too late, they tried to tell you to fix it.

Boycott Facebook Zuck Sucks

That's what happens when you censor one side and not the other.

Capitalists are joining liberals and radical Left to end free speech and institute censorship, hoping it will save them. There are just a few conservatives left who oppose the coming dictatorship but they cannot prevail against most of the nation that suddenly lost its mind.

The globalists are trying to silence the conservatives. This is exactly what they did to TuckerCarlson

Give Facebook a miss.

What I really love about this is the fools that actually believe the silent majority gives a flying fk what Facebook does. It’s a medium for weak people driven by the desire to be liked

Because of the media usatoday needs to be shut down

Too little, too late!

Too late!!

I have recently deleted Facebook from my life. Too little too late dude DeleteFacebookNow

MarkZuckerberg only cares about money. He will only stand up for what is right is we make him.

constantlearne1 It will always be hysterical to me that this titan of industry, this aerodynamic gazillionaire got his start by making an app that let users choose which female classmate was more attractive than the other HotOrNot DeleteFacebookNow

Too late

I called out Melinda Gates as a racist and bam BANNED 7 DAYS from FACEBOOK. 2nd offense Also said If looters came to my home they would die. That was hate speech or truth?

He really crossed over to the evil side, didn’t he? So disappointing.🥺

Too late

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.

Good! BoycottFacebook DeleteFacebook

All he did was copy twitter, who is getting the same crap.

Too little too late. Finally people realise that Facebook is a useless platform for advertising.

PULL THE ADS. THIS HIPOCRITE MUST LEARN. HATE IS NOT NORMAL WHEN THIS POTUS USES IT AS AN ELECTION STRATEGY. TRUMPS OWN PROPAGANDA MESSAGE. TRUMP DOES NOT CARE. REMOVE ADS.

We are on to the fact that has become a mouthpiece for Marxist ideology. Though you try hard to disguise it, your anti-American bias shows brighter everyday.

Serious boycott would straighten him out. Freeze him out for months. Run ad campaigns on other sites critiquing Facebook’s acceptance of fake ads and propaganda by the right. He will change. $$$ always talks.

As they should until he gets serious.

Boo who...🤷‍♀️ Media in general needs to be more responsible with what they're reporting. We're really good about targeting certain wrongs but not making sure all wrong is dealt with. If you leave the root, the plant source will just grow back.

Who decides what hate speech is? I hare USA Today. Is that hate speech?

He should fact check the media and allow no opinion pieces from media outlets YOUR JOB IS TO REPORT THE FACTS..

Stupid companies.

Good move ...
