Description

Facebook’s current relationship status with advertisers: It’s complicated. Steven Levy, tech journalist at Wired and author of Facebook: The Inside Story, discusses the Facebook advertising boycott campaign. The #StopHateforProfit campaign has picked up support from hundreds of companies, including Unilever, Microsoft, Coca Cola, Starbucks and all of Canada’s ‘Big 5’ banks, to pressure the social media company to combat hate speech, fight misinformation and deal with threats of violence on the platform.
