*[Enwl-eng] Facebook ad boycott

[ENWL]

                        Hundreds of companies have already dumped Facebook 
ads until the platform cleans up its hate speech problem, doing critical 
damage to Facebook's bottom line.

                        Now we can join too! If millions tell Facebook we're 
boycotting ads and download an ad blocker, we can create a new wave of 
pressure and force Facebook's hand. Help stop the hate:

            Facebook is reeling as corporate giants — from Coke to Ford to 
Starbucks — suspend their ads on the platform until it cleans up hate 
speech.

            Ads bring Facebook 99% of its income, so this boycott is hitting 
where it hurts — and now we can join in, too.

            If millions of people say we won’t let Facebook show us any ads 
until they clean up the hate -- and download a simple, free adblocker -- we 
can generate a new people-powered media wave and double the pressure on 
Facebook to act.

            Yes, I’ll join the Facebook ad boycott

            It’s high time Facebook cleans itself up — it’s loaded with 
pages promoting white supremacy, misogyny and more, and Facebook simply 
refuses to step up and police it.

            Already 800 companies have joined the boycott, pulling millions 
of dollars of income from Facebook.

            CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on the back foot, holding public employee 
meetings, sending his policy chief on TV to do damage control, and even 
agreeing to meet with the coalition leading the boycott effort.

            But he’s also saying he bets advertisers will be back “soon 
enough”. We need to add the pressure right NOW, with millions of users 
joining in to choke Facebook’s business model until they stop benefitting 
from hate. And we don't have to block ALL sites -- we can adjust the 
settings to just block Facebook, so the companies helping push Facebook can 
still receive ad revenue elsewhere.

            It’s within our power to force Facebook to change. Let’s 
capitalize on the energy created by the business boycott, and start one of 
our own -- tell Facebook you're not helping them get rich off hate:

            Our community fights every day to hold big corporations 
accountable. Now we have hundreds of companies doing the right thing — let’s 
show them support, and do our own part to change Facebook for good.
