CONFIRMED: FUCKING FINALLY! David Duke, former GRAND FUCKING WIZARD of the FUCKING KKK was just suspended from Twitter.

We’ve only been asking about this for THREE AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS!
HOW LONG SHOULD IT HAVE FUCKING TAKEN TO FUCKING DO THIS!?!

FUCKING FUCK!
F-bombs aside, this is a clear sign that social media companies see the writing on the wall. Advertisers have no appetite to pay into platforms that amplify and promote white supremacy.

Except @Facebook.
Facebook doesn’t care.

#StopHateForProfit
A quick reminder that Twitter deserves no kudos for this.

They, like all social media companies, have been bending and making up rules to keep white supremacists on their platforms for years just to grab more engagement to show advertisers & Wall Street.

July is ending, but the #StopHateForProfit campaign continues because Facebook has taken no significant action on hate and disinformation.

The findings in this report by @accountabletech shows that it’s not just us, but CONSUMERS who are demanding change.
accountabletech.org/media/polling/
Among other findings:
66% of consumers want FB to stop recommending and amplifying hateful content.

63% want FB to change their policies to help stop radicalization & hate.

60% want FB to create automatic flagging of hateful content for human review.
Not only that, but consumers LOVE brands participating in the #StopHateForProfit campaign!

74% (!) support companies pulling ads from FB in order to stop funding hate.

34% even said they’d be more likely to buy those brands who have paused their ad dollars to FB!

CONFIRMED: @Starbucks will pause all advertising on Facebook and all other social media platforms.

#StopHateForProfit
That large companies are rethinking not just Facebook, but ALL social platforms is an incredible step forward and one that needed to be done.

It should also be done with programmatic advertising, which allows corporations to monetize hate and disinfo without their knowledge.
The idea that advertisers should send their money through companies like @google and @facebook to outlets without any vetting or enforcement of rules is just as ridiculous as monetizing content on social media that comes from racists and shady disinfo peddlers.

@sundarpichai @oliverdarcy What an stunningly hypocritical tweet. Your company has consistently platformed, monetized and profited from racists & racist groups. You refuse to remove racist websites from your ad network. You still allow Nazis to air videos on YouTube. You helped create this environment.
@sundarpichai @oliverdarcy Your homepage probably isn’t going to feature this, we’re guessing.

@sundarpichai @oliverdarcy Probably not this, either.
