Disney Reportedly Joins Facebook Boycott, Slashes Ad Spending

Disney has significantly reduced its spending on Facebook and Instagram ads amid concerns about the social media platform's enforcement of its content policies, The Wall Street Journal reported. It joins a list of large companies that have cut back on Facebook ads as part of an effort to compel Facebook to change how it handles hate speech and misinformation on its platforms.

The monthlong #StopHateforProfit boycott organized by a coalition of civil rights organizations including the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Color of Change, and Sleeping Giants kicked off July 1st and includes companies like Hershey, Honda, Ben & Jerry's, and Verizon. Other companies not part of the formal boycott that have pulled ads from Facebook and other social platforms included Coca-Cola, Lego, Starbucks, and Unilever. And Microsoft suspended its advertising on Facebook and Instagram through August.

I think that the "woke" aspect is a cop-out. The reality is that Disney (and the rest of the boycotters) does not have any reason to put an ad on Facebook or Instagram right now because they have almost no revenue stream and the ad costs will not bring enough profits to justify the marketing campaign.

Are we supposed to believe that Facebook is centrist, or even the slightest bit conservative?

Get the f*** out of here. They are full blown leftists.

Already about 7 years ago now they censored the film "All Wars are Bankers Wars", you couldn't post it on Facebook! It would be auto-removed!

They have already gave in. They have banned shit tons of conservatives.

The US is going to be a communist nation very soon if Republicans don't start boycotting these corporations.

Republicans will never boycott anything. Instead, they worship politicians like Trump who give bailouts to the corporations.

Its for the best, because I won't give Disney any money. I pirate what very little of theirs is worth watching anymore. Back in the day I bought all the Disney and Pixar stuff on DVD and again on Bluray, because I supported quality work. But when they became a a full fledged "network" they took a stand on certain views, and so I did as well.

Mandalorian is about the only thing of quality they have made last couple years. But I pirate it, because they enjoy treating me (and poeple like me) like shit....so I figure they don't want me as a customer.

Wait, wait wait...so these companies are boycotting because Facebook isn't commie, fuckface, SJW, woke, leftist, traitor scum enough? That is mind boggling. The people behind what Facebook should be in GITMO for what they've already done. Hell even they probably know that.

I heard that these leftist companies are cash-poor right due to corona shutdown and are organizing and pretending they are not getting FAcebook ads because Facebook is not cancelling enough conservatives or other "wrong-thinkers" but in reality, they are just holding onto some cash due to the times/corona.

All liberals lie, so I tend to believe this account I read instead of what Disney or other liberal companies say.

Confusing but G Floyd video says the n word repeatedly and I can't get it removed. I have whackos harrassing me about it on youtube but then i explained based on their rants justifying it, are they ok and not upset about slurs toward them. One is an India college lbgqt student at Iowa University. She finally quit telling me why I am supposed to accept that video because I won't.

I am a female and I don't reference my friends as my bitch. Why do they think it ok say my n word?

Twl head, fggt, lint lckr are foul. AND SO IS the n word.

Zuckerberg said to say of Facebook ad boycott: ‘All these advertisers will be back’ soon enough
By Mike Murphy | July 4, 2020

(marketwatch.com) - Hundreds of companies around the world have joined a temporary ad boycott against Facebook Inc., but Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg says he’s not worried and has no intention of changing its policies, according to a new report.

Zuckerberg said the boycott is more of a PR issue than one that will hurt the social-media giant’s bottom line, according to a report Wednesday by The Information, which cited a transcript of remarks Zuckerberg gave at an employees-only virtual town hall Friday.

“We’re not gonna change our policies or approach on anything because of a threat to a small percent of our revenue, or to any percent of our revenue,” he said, according to The Information.

While generating headlines, the boycott involves only a tiny fraction of Facebook’s roughly 8 million advertisers. The company generates almost all of its revenue from ads...

[H]e was reportedly more blunt in private remarks to employees, saying Facebook would not cave to pressure.

“You know, we don’t technically set our policies because of any pressure that people apply to us,” he said, according to The Information. “And, in fact, usually I tend to think that if someone goes out there and threatens you to do something, that actually kind of puts you in a box where in some ways it’s even harder to do what they want because now it looks like you’re capitulating, and that sets up bad long-term incentives for others to do that [to you] as well.”

Experts told MarketWatch on Wednesday that companies joining the boycott may see a bigger boost to their brands than Facebook ads would have generated in the first place.

“By pulling ads, they save money and make a low-risk statement that results in positive publicity and marketing for their brands among constituents,” Gerard Francis Corbett, a communications strategy consultant based in Silicon Valley, told MarketWatch. “The Facebook boycott is a lower-risk way for CEOs to make a [political] statement.”...

Facebook use is way way up during the epidemic. They are stronger than ever.

All the boycotting so far is a drop in the bucket.
