Inside the Ad Boycott That Has Facebook on the Defensive

Hundreds of companies are boycotting the social media giant. Here’s the backstory of how it happened.

The advertising boycott battering Facebook is unlike anything the social-media giant has faced in its 16-year history: Three days in, 800 companies worldwide have pulled millions of dollars in advertising from the social network, with brands from Coca-Cola to Ford to global conglomerate Unilever demanding that Facebook monitor hate speech more aggressively.

With pullouts mounting and the company’s name constantly tied to racism and hate in the news coverage, CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded by livestreaming part of an employee meeting — one of the few times he’s done that in the company’s history. Then, on Wednesday, Facebook’s powerhouse policy and communications chief, former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, issued an open letter, titled “Facebook does not benefit from hate,” touting its efforts to police its content.

‘Boycott Target’ Jumps Past Morgan Wallen, Taylor Swift to Become No. 1 Song on iTunes

The rap song “Boycott Target” has jumped past singles by superstars Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen to become the number one song on iTunes on Tuesday.

“Boycott Target” — from rappers Forgiato Blow and Jimmy Levy — was released Thursday and has become a runaway hit on multiple platforms. A music video for the song tweeted by Forgiato Blow has accumulated more than 4.4 million views after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) encouraged people to check it out.

The rap anthem has surged past both Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” and Taylor Swift’s “Hits Different,” which currently sit at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, on iTunes’ “Top Songs” chart. The No. 2 spot is currently occupied by country star Luke Combs’ “Fast Car.”

As Breitbart News reported, Target not only pushed gay and transgender-themed clothing for children, but also partnered with a Satanist designer, UK-based Abprallen, on its Pride line of apparel, which insists “Satan loves you” and “Satan respects pronouns.”

Trump urges fans to boycott NFL over anthem protests

Trump’s latest salvo came in an early morning tweet in which he said: “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag and Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!”

President Donald Trump on Sunday urged fans to boycott National Football League games to pressure it to fire or suspend players who kneel in protest during the national anthem, intensifying a battle over politics, social justice and race in America’s most popular sport.

But in the first NFL game since Trump touched off the spat Friday with an expletive-laden speech to supporters in Alabama, at least a dozen players on the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonsville Jaguars, playing in London, took a knee Sunday during the playing of “The Star-Spangled banner.”

Others stood and locked arms in a show of solidarity. More protests were expected Sunday as the rest of the games of week three of the season were played.

It was one of the largest such protests since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is African American, first began refusing to stand for the anthem in 2016.

The protest spread Saturday to Major League Baseball for the first time: a black Oakland Athletics catcher named Bruce Maxwell knelt during the anthem before a game in California.

Mexican Governor Demands Boycott of Texas

As a result of President-Elect Donald Trump’s deal with Carrier to keep 1,000 jobs in Indiana, a Mexican border governor is calling on his residents to boycott Texas in retaliation.

During a public event on Thursday, Nuevo León’s governor Jaime “El Bronco” Rodriguez called on the residents of his state to avoid shopping in Texas cities and traveling to Lone Star beaches to send a message to Trump. Nuevo León is one of Mexico’s leading manufacturing and industrial regions.

“With us not going to McAllen for 15 days, Trump will change his mind,” Rodriguez said. “Stop going to South Padre Island and we will go instead to China (rural city in Nuevo León), the Cuchillo Dam, and the Isla Con Madre (play on words to counter South Padre Island).”

Rodriguez, who is rumored to be planning a run for Mexico’s presidency in 2018 said he is looking into improving relations with Asian countries and he is halting any business development with U.S. companies. The harsh stance from the Nuevo León government comes as a response Trump’s deal with Carrier that kept the company from moving some of its operations from Indiana into Santa Catarina, Nuevo León. Carrier was initially set to fire 1,000 Hoosiers to move its factory to Nuevo León.

Trump supporters call for ‘Hamilton’ boycott

‘Jeez, now we can’t even go watch a lame Broadway play without being lectured’

Supporters of Donald Trump and Mike Pence started the hashtag #BoycottHamilton to defend the vice president-elect who was booed while attending the Broadway show “Hamilton” Friday night, and addressed directly by the cast after the show.

“We are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” said current cast-member Brandon Victor Dixon Friday night as the rest of the cast stood behind him. “But we hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values, and work on behalf of all of us.”

Trump demanded that the cast apologize in two tweets sent out Saturday morning: “Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!,” Trump wrote. “The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!”

Blue Lives Matter Is Asking All Americans To Boycott Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry’s went beyond making a statement in support of civil rights when they actively accused law enforcement of widespread racism. By spreading these false and misleading statements, Ben & Jerry’s lends an appearance of legitimacy to the baseless claims that police officers are killing men based on the color of their skin. This message has inspired the assassination and attempted assassination of police officers, and it costs officers their lives.

Blue Lives Matter is calling on all Americans to send a message to Ben & Jerry’s, and parent company Unilever, to boycott all Ben & Jerry’s products.

Ben & Jerry’s just recently announced their support for Black Lives Matter along with a misinformation campaign accusing law enforcement of widespread systemic and institutionalized racism. Many companies have offered misguided statements of support for Black Lives Matter in the past, with the false belief that they are expressing support for civil rights.

Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights group. Most people have their own personal beliefs about what Black Lives Matter means to them. They think that their personal definition for Black Lives Matter is what the organized BLM groups stand for; this is not the case. While we believe that other companies were misguided, Ben & Jerry’s campaign is dangerous.
