Anonymous Coward User ID: 77660835 United States 07/03/2020 04:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All five of Canada's biggest banks are joining an international boycott of Facebook over concerns that the platform is complicit in promoting racism, violence and misinformation. Quoting: Cartel™ Scotiabank, RBC, CIBC, BMO and TD have pledged to stop purchasing ads on the site for the month, aligning themselves with brands such as Lululemon Athletica and Mountain Equipment Co-op in signing onto the StopHateForProfit campaign. The initiative, spearheaded by organizations like the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, began in response to growing anti-Semitic and anti-Black rhetoric found on the social media platform. Participating brands will suspend all advertising on the platform for the month of July. Scotiabank announced its intentions on Tuesday, while the four other banks confirmed on Wednesday that they would follow suit. A spokesperson for RBC said the company understands that systemic racism has disadvantaged Black people, Indigenous people and people of colour, and the bank intends to combat that. "One way we can do that is by standing against misinformation and hate speech, which only make systemic racism more pervasive," AJ Goodman said. A spokesperson for Bank of Montreal told CBC News that the bank "will pause its advertising on Facebook and Instagram during the month of July, while continuing our ongoing dialogue with Facebook on changes they can make to their platforms to reduce the spread of hate speech." TD said it had also "paused" its advertising for the month and added that the bank is "committed to the fight against racism and hate speech and to the work needed to help create a safer and more inclusive society."

"A wise man listens to the message and uses his logic and discernment to process it, a fool negates the message by prejudging the messenger." "He whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere." |

Big libtard group pressures the advertisers to pull out. Advertisers pull out and ask for censorship because people are complaining to them about things said on the platform. Once enough advertisers pull out the platform caves and gives them what they want. Advertisers come back and business as usual except with more censorship. Cycle repeats. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30920354 Canada 07/03/2020 06:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Facebook already employs an army of censors that censor everything. What the hell do you expect Mark Zuckerberg to do ban all white people next to make sure no white person ever says anything they don't like on Facebook?! I am assuming these banks are only whining about what white people are saying since they are talking about banning hate speech and racism and according to lefty logic only white people are capable of engaging in that behavior. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 30920354 Canada 07/03/2020 06:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How about this Mark Zuckerberg bans all users from his platform and then leftists will never have to worry ever again that someone out of the billions of people on this planet said something they didn't like on Facebook. |

Don't let the leftists rush you into making a rash decision, especially if you have investments or money to lose. Consider opening an account with a credit union. Make sure you have everything set up with your new bank account (direct deposits, payroll, etc) before you close your account with the big 5. In the meantime, DOWNGRADE your account type to the BARE MINIMUM. Don't let them take an extra cent more out of you than you can save. But, don't make things hard on yourself. Make the transition proper, final and complete so there's no return. Taking your money out doesn't mean as much as closing all links to your bank, and setting up everything with a credit union or other bank. I recommend an ethnic credit union that specifically serves certain religions or ethnic groups. In Ontario, there's: -Mennonite Credit Union/Kindred Credit Union -Italian Canadian Savings and Credit (if you have any links to Italian culture, or ancestors, or if you have lived or studied in Italy. Special accounts for "Liberators" (Cabadian Veterans) -Polish Credit Union -Various Catholic Credit Unions (usually named "st something".... You have to be a member of a church most of the time) -Church and Community Credit Unions (there are many "private" credit unions that are select for members of a particular church, community, club or organization. They might be very small, but look around and you might be surprised. The Freemasons have a Credit Union, or at least they operate one. Look into that. Whatever serves your community and takes money from the big banks in the long term is what we need to do. Establish it and cement it! |

Everyone is bleeding cash right now. Nike just posted a big loss etc. Cash is running out fast, they're trying to stop the bleeding. Watch them pull ads from other places too. FB is a leftist paradise, they wouldn't leave if sales were equating from said ads. Fact. |

Just ask the leftists who run Reddit. They even state in their terms of service that you can do hate speech against whites because we are majority population according to them therefore fair game to demonize and pick on. |
