The business section of the New York Times has an article today headlined “Morally Impossible” which reports on businesses breaking with Facebook as an advertising medium, citing the failure to act on Trump posts that are racist and potentially incite violence.
98% of Facebook revenue is from advertising, so I imagine if we could make the amount of such breaks larger, it would hit Mark Zuckerberg in the only place he understands … his wallet.
Some major companies like Nike and Anheuser-Busch have cut back on their Facebook spending because of the current economy, but I believe a letter-writing campaign to their CEOs along the lines of “I’m not buying your product, nor will I recommend your product to friends, until you either stop supporting Zuckerberg’s position or convince him to change.”
I doubt Mark is going to ignore calls from Fortune 500 CEOs bringing that message.
(Addendum: Thank you for making this my first diary to make the rec list. Even if I did screw up the headline originally. LOL)
