I remember when it was renamed to Nexopia and that was a big deal in my school. Good ol' OG Canadian teen social media. I will say I met some really cool people from there and it was basically teen Tinder. Edited July 3, 2020 by BowtieCanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlemonger Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Its not like facebook cares or anything. They make so much money that taking a loss on advertising income helps them make even more money come income tax time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more pull out and this continues for a while... that could force them to make the requested changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it was in any way similar to the advertisers boycotting Tucker’s show while in reality Fox just reallocated the ad revenue to other shows etc. having no net loss. And filled tuckers show.. the most watched cable news segment ever.. with others that dont care like MyPillow) Facebook could in theory do the same and just reallocate the ads to instagram or whatever else FB owns that is more discrete.

Good point. What else do they own? I didn't know about intsa... You would think these advertisers should back off all the parent companies platforms if they really want any changes.

They are also getting into the virtual reality sector and I am sure many others I am unaware of. Worth looking into if anyone actually cares about the fb boycott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean banks?! You could easily argue they're a good part of the origin of so called 'systemic inequality'. Hollow virtue signaling from some of the worst offenders and nothing more.

That is just the banks boycotting their customers. They are mad that the customers come attached to their money, which they would like to separate from them - customers being an annoying inconvenience. As for Facebook, I hope it stays neutral - censorship has never served a useful purpose, remember that the views you subscribe to today, people in the past have tried to censor.

With over 500 companies having now joined the advertising boycott of Facebook called for by top civil rights groups, some investors are concerned about the company’s lost revenue—but most Wall Street firms estimate that Facebook is still looking at less than a 5% hit to overall revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
