In the latest twist on cancel culture, major corporate advertisers are pulling ads from Facebook as part of a #StopHateForProfit campaign launched last week by the Anti-Defamation League.
On Wednesday, Goodby Silverstein & Partners - which represents companies such as BMW, Frito-Lay, PepsiCo and HP - said it's joining what is supposed to be a month-long Facebook boycott in July.
The Anti-Defamation League teamed up with the NAACP, and lesser-known groups such as Sleeping Giants, Color of Change, Free Press and Common Sense, to launch the boycott in response, it says, "To Facebook's long history of allowing racist, violent and verifiably false content to run rampant on its platform."
In the press release announcing the boycott, NAACP President Derrick Johnson complains that Facebook won't take "Significant steps to remove political propaganda from its platform."
Johnson also complains that Facebook is "Complacent in the spread of misinformation." Doesn't the left consider anything conservatives say to be "Misinformation"?
Facebook is also guilty, the boycott group says, of "Protecting voter suppression."
Net neutrality advocacy group Free Press is also involved in the campaign, which is supremely ironic given that its support for net neutrality is premised on "Enabling anyone to share and access information of their choosing without interference." Is it not aware that it's specifically demanding that Facebook disable and interfere with users' ability to "Share and access information of their choosing"?
