More than 900 advertisers have signed on to the „Stop Hate for Profit“ campaign, organized by civil rights groups to pressure the world’s largest social media network to take concrete steps to block hate speech and misinformation, in the wake of the death of George Floyd in police custody.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Free Press, Color of Change and the NAACP met for over an hour via video conference with Facebook executives including Zuckerberg and Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg to discuss the groups‘ demands.
„They (Facebook) showed up to the meeting expecting an A for attendance,“ said Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, during a press call following the meeting.
