HAPPY STEVE BANNON IS INDICTED DAY, EVERYONE!!!
Sleeping Giants was started BECAUSE of Steve Bannon. Because he was so uniquely racist & dangerous. Because he was a guy who openly pushed racism in a way previously unseen in this country and something needed to be done.

It is hard to overstate just how big this is around here.
Of course, Bannon is and always was a fucking grifter. This was always going to be the way it went for him.

His genius was convincing a bunch of gullible power-hungry billionaires that he could do their bidding by stoking racial resentment in exchange for lots of dough.
His (hopeful) undoing came when he tried to do the same grift with people who didn’t have a lot of money. And that is poetic justice.

Bye, asshole.
Just in case you missed it, seeing this video was one of the best moments so far in this campaign.

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: 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.

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.
