Advertisers Aren’t Thrilled With Zuckerberg’s Embrace Of Hate Speech

In a better world, I might hope for this to be the beginning of the end for social media and online ads. In this one, well…

Eh, they'll come around…

Green Day's When I Come Around starts playing

[cygnus@lemmy.ca]

Other than myself I only know one other person who has quit Facebook over this, so I very much doubt that advertisers will stay away. It took a lot more for them to leave Twitter, even after Elon told them to fuck off and sued them for not advertising on his platform.

Now, can Facebook shut down to the Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of your life)”?

[lost_my_mind@lemmy.world]

I don't know. Haven't been playing that close enough attention. Wake Me Up When September Ends.

What a coincidence, Trump's loyalty purge email was titled "A fork in the road" https://www.opm.gov/fork

My experience with my friends and family:

I left Facebook a long time ago and never looked back.

[blametheantifa@lemmy.world]

Advertisers will go where people are. Unless people are leaving the Zuckerverse, the advertisers will just go along with it.

[shittybeatlesfcpres@lemmy.world]

To paraphrase Mayor Quimby: if the winds of change are blowing, never let it be said that Mark Zuckerberg does not also blow.

I remember back when Elmo took over Twitter and advertisers could be shamed into quitting. But slowly they all crawled back. Hopefully it will stick this time.

[rickdg@lemmy.world]

Elmo has had a toxic influence in the modern world.

[can@sh.itjust.works]

Hopefully some will still leave in time. I should have left reddit years before I did.

I'm having this discussion with friends. We created a new signal group but some refuse to install signal, because having another app is "too distracting", and using Meta is OK because we also all use Google/Apple products and some people are on instagram.

God damn it these fucking techbro loligarchs and their dipshit nerd humor.

Hurr hurr we're making a fork of the US government code hurr durr.

What a bunch of juvenile fucking delinquents.

[thejml@lemm.ee]

Everyone I know that would have left Facebook over this already left years ago during other scares/changes/security issues.

I dropped it cold Turkey about 9yrs ago and never looked back.

[tonytins@pawb.social]

Who knew, these tech bros would drive consumers and advertisers together to fight a common enemy.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

Just leave them behind if they can't be arsed.

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

How rude am I allowed to be to my friends who have facebook accounts? Cause I want to ask them how different it is from Stromfront.

[takeda@lemm.ee]

That doesn't matter, his current customers are governments and oligarchs who want people to have certain opinion.
