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. |

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! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79065726 Facebook is a huge advertising tool. HUGE! They wont give that up. They are just pandering to the left. Like Arnold, they'll be back! 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. |

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. |

User ID: 79088824 United States 07/20/2020 02:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.”...
