Activists' Efforts To Force Facebook To Their Will Fell Short

The delusional effort by activist organizations to hold Facebook accountable for what they imagined as policy failings has snowballed into a massive embarrassment and hit them back at their faces.

As the pretentious #StopHateforProfit campaign continues to attract small and insignificant advertisers to its boycott of Facebook advertising, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and the newly back-at-Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox sat down with the group last 7 July. Other members of the policy team and and one more member of Facebook's product team were also present for the meeting, which lasted a little over an hour.

Following the conversation with Facebook's uppermost leadership echelon, leaders from four of the organizations spearheading the self-serving boycott were given nothing.

"Today we saw little and heard just about nothing," Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said. Greenblatt also expressed disappointment that Facebook fails to apply "energy and urgency" to issues like hate and misinformation that it brings to scaling its massively successful online ad platform.

Color of Change President Rashad Robinson criticized Facebook for "expecting an A for attendance" for participating in the meeting. Free Press co-CEO Jessica J. González also expressed that she was "deeply disappointed" in the company. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson dismissed the company's efforts as well, accusing Facebook of being "more interested in dialogue than action."

The #StopHateforProfit campaign forces companies to suspend their advertising on Facebook and Instagram for the month of July, citing lawful and Constitutionally-protected policies of the company, including the decision not to touch a post by President Donald Trump announcing the full implementation of the law against violent protesters.

These and other attempts to justify rioters' and arsonists' action to get free pass from the law are now pushing the silent majority to shun the so-called social justice warriors and are responsible for the rising chance of President Trump to get reelected on November.
