ICE CREAMđ§”: Ben & Jerry's called for invocation of the 25th Amendment after January 6th falsely claiming President Trump was incapacitated. He was not. They also falsely claimed the J6 protesters were 'white supremacists'. adage.com/article/media/âŠ
For @elonmusk to allow Donald Trump back on Twitter, ostensibly after a brief poll, shows he is not remotely serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and misinformation.
As we've said before, Trump used Twitter to foment intolerance, issue threats and incite a violent attack against the US government. Moreover, he has shown no indication that he would do anything different if given the opportunity.
When @ADL and other #StopHateforProfit leaders met with Elon Musk on 11/1, he committed to not replatform anyone, regardless of stature, until he installed a transparent, clear process that took into consideration the views of civil society.
Today, we are joining dozens of other groups to ask advertisers to pause Twitter spending because we are profoundly concerned about antisemitism and hate on the platform. Here's why we're asking advertisers to #StopHateForProfit and #StopToxicTwitterđ§”stophateforprofit.org/statement-callâŠ
This past Tuesday, @Twitterâs new owner @elonmusk met with representatives from U.S civil society organizations, including @JGreenblattADL and @YaelEisenstat. Following that meeting, Musk pledged that "Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment," including antisemitism.
Since that meeting, Musk permitted @kanyewest to start posting again. From Ye's "Death Con 3" tweet to @KyrieIrving promoting an antisemitic film, we've seen celebrities use Twitter to disseminate antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate to tens of millions of followers.
#PrinceHarry & #MeghanMarkle were awarded with the prestigious @NAACP Image President's Awards. It was in recognition of their work to help a womanâs shelter in Texas, their promotion of Covid vaccine equity & a their community relief centres partnership. Thread as a reminderâš:
Through the Archewell Foundation, Meghan and Harry donated to the Genesis Women's Shelter & Support in Dallas, Texas funds to replace their roof and also other immediate needs. Shelter's roof was damaged during Winter Storm Uri âïž#MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry #HarryandMeghan
Meghan and Harryâs have convened meetings with CEOs encouraging them to do their part whether itâs social media giants like Facebook regarding #StopHateForProfit to pharmaceuticals. The Sussexes walk the talk! đŁ This was praised back in July 2020 by @NAACPâs Presidentđ
Twitter and Facebook depend heavily on advertising revenue. If enough big advertisers speak out & take action, these platforms will face strong pressure to stop this abuse #StartSpreadingLove #StopFundingHate cnbc.com/2021/07/12/facâŠ

âVoicing concern about an "avalanche of misinformation" in the digital world, #PrinceHarry is joining the Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder as a commissioner. Harry, 14 other commissioners & 3 co-chairs will conduct a 6-month studyâ cnn.com/2021/03/24/medâŠ
âJourno Katie Couric,Color of Change pres Rashad Robinson & Chris Krebs, the former dir of the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency,are the co-chairs. "This info crisis undermines confidence in our democratic institutions & strikes right at the foundation of societyâ
âThat's what Aspen,a leading nonprofit,wants to examine.The institute announced its Commission on Info Disorder in Jan w/ a mandate to develop "actionable public-private responses." The commission will begin to meet in April & will hold a series of briefings with outside expertsâ
âFacebookâs bullying and harassment policy explicitly allows for âpublic figuresâ to be targeted in ways otherwise banned on the site, including âcalls for [their] deathâ, according to a tranche of internal moderator guidelines leaked to the Guardian.â theguardian.com/technology/202âŠ
âPublic figures are defined by Facebook to include ppl whose claim to fame may be simply a large social media following or infrequent coverage in local newspapers. They are considered to be permissible targets for certain types of abuse âbecause we want to allow discussionâ
âIt comes as social networks face renewed criticism over abuse on their platforms, including of the Duke and #DuchessOfSussex and professional footballers, in particular black stars such as Marcus Rashford.â
Holy shit, this is a damning piece.
This explains what we always thought was true about @Facebook. They have consistently make special commutations for outlets like Breitbart, The Daily Wire and InfoWars despite their breaches of the Terms of Service.

We have been pushing @facebook to simply enforce their own rules for years, as have others, and have consistently found that they were unwilling to do even the bare minimum.
Politics should be separated from moderation decisions and rules should be enforced equally. Theyâre not.

This, from an employee who left @facebook because of its damaging policy decisions, gets it right.
No one is asking Facebook to throw people off their platform based on their ideology, they are simply asking the company to enforce their terms. It isnât happening.

First, I'd start with the Harvard Ad Board who in 2003 gave Mark a pass for violating university IT policies, stealing photos from private house directories, hacking into the Crimson, and harassing women with his first project Facemash. thecrimson.com/article/2003/1âŠ
Next, I'd look at Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Marc Andreessen, and other early Facebook investors who overlooked Mark's character and FB's origin story, weren't very impressed with him, and decided to invest anyway. mashable.com/2017/11/10/marâŠ
They are anti-vaxxers . Anti-vaxxers are not harmless; they threaten and engage in violence while promoting lies that endanger lives. Just like white supremacists, which whom they now ally. We must reject both. #StopAntiVaxViolence

Remember when conservatives were trying to get this guy banned? He does. I guess this is his idea of revenge.
"Offensive speech cannot be tolerated," explained the guy who made a fortune from it
#StopHateForProfit? Talk about pulling up the ladder behind you. He made his riches by pissing people off, and now he doesn't want any competition.

En rĂ©alitĂ© Twitter a subi un boycott des annonceurs (Verizon, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Levi's, Starbucks, Ben&Jerry's, Patagonia, The North Face, REI, Upwor...) suite Ă une attitude jugĂ©e trop permissive vis Ă vis des comptes pro-Trump et des discours haineux google.fr/amp/s/www.leseâŠ
Dâun cĂŽtĂ© Twitter a peur de perdre des utilisateurs et donc des revenus, de lâautre les marques ont lancĂ© une opĂ©ration marketing #StopHateForProfit (« Non Ă la haine pour le profit »), soutenue par des associations de dĂ©fense des droits, pour surfer sur le mouvement #BLM.
We cannot allow the historic & horrific events of the past 48 hours to fade without significant consequences. In our 100+ years of history, @ADL has never called for the President of the United States to be removed from office. Today, that changes. adl.org/news/press-relâŠ
What occurred on Wed. was inexcusable. An act of domestic terror was encouraged by President Trump & organized on social media. It will be remembered as one of the darkest days of our democracy & makes it unambiguously clear: President Trump is unfit for office & must be removed.
The images of extremists assaulting police officers, rampaging through the halls of Congress, desecrating the symbol of our democracy had no precedent in our history. The incitement of the mob by @realDonaldTrump was an amoral act that debases the presidency & imperils society.
THREAD: In the wake of the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, @Twitter must enforce its rules suspending accounts that post & spread QAnon conspiracy theories that glorify violence, target democratic institutions & seed militant insurrection. adl.org/qanon
QAnon played a key role in the terror attack on the Capitol. QAnon accounts on Twitter and other platforms hailed the violence as a first step in a civil war. According to reports, QAnon supporters were among the first militants to enter the Capitol. usatoday.com/story/tech/202âŠ
One of these supporters, Jake Angeli, a far-right conspiracy theorist dubbed the âQAnon Shaman,â has been a visible presence at several far-right rallies supporting the presidentâs attempts to discredit the 2020 election. news.yahoo.com/well-known-qanâŠ
This piece is ridiculous.
1) Stop conflating âfree speechâ with advertising and data mining businesses. Moderation is done for customers (advertisers), not for 1A, which does not apply to them.
2) Competition is great! Let it happen. It will take the power away from monopolies!

3) The entire point of neo-Nazis, disinformation-peddlers and foreign influence operations using these big platforms is to recruit, amplify to more people and monetize. If they go to smaller platforms, great. But they donât want to because they donât have the reach.
4) The entire FrEE SpEeCH argument is blown up within this piece by the author. When you go to other, smaller platforms, youâre STILL POSTING! No one is being stopped from speaking their mind. They just donât get to amplify. Freedom of speech doesnât mean freedom of reach. Duh.

@Heidi_Cuda @BrentAllpress @Tentoads4truth @elliemail @MalcolmNance @Nick_Carmody @TeamPelosi @YourAnonCentral @jennycohn1 @ericgarland @JYSexton @politico YVW thank you for all your posts/threads..the CA one was excellent- the psychometric profiling of people prone to extremism and weaponizing them is one of the low points of this sad Trump/Brexit saga in history. For my money Murdoch is one of beneficiaries of it.
@Heidi_Cuda @BrentAllpress @Tentoads4truth @elliemail @MalcolmNance @Nick_Carmody @TeamPelosi @YourAnonCentral @jennycohn1 @ericgarland @JYSexton @politico They pretty much created a multi-billion industry out of marketing fascism..
@BrentAllpress @Tentoads4truth @elliemail this is a tweet thread from #auspol I copied from twitter that has since gone missing I saw in my archives, from just last year. You are going to have to research what it is saying but would never alter stuff.. but someone has had it removed.. it could even be one of yours, Brent
A few thoughts on Borat. The main target of the movie is clearly Trump supporters, but I feel bad that Kazakhstan gets caught in the crosshairs. Based on his stereotype, you can see Cohen wants to critique Russians, Germans, and Arabs for historical reasons. 1/n
He picks on Kazakhstan as some kind of amalgamation of all three, despite it being a pretty successful country over the last two decades. This is likely because of its lack of influence, and because most Americans know nothing about it, letting him create any image he wants. 2/n
In the beginning, he tells us Kazakhstan celebrates the Holocaust. This is a completely invented slander. I know it's a movie, and these are jokes, but it's a joke with no historical basis at all and just takes advantage of the ignorance of the viewer. 3/n
I love that I can connect directly with you through Instagram and Facebook, but I canât sit by and stay silent while these platforms continue to allow the spreading of hate, propaganda and misinformation - created by groups to sow division and split America apart
â only to take steps after people are killed. Misinformation shared on social media has a serious impact on our elections and undermines our democracy.  Please join me tomorrow when I will be âfreezingâ my Instagram and FB account to tell Facebook to #StopHateForProfit.

Facebook recently made some announcements in response to demands that the civil rights groups in #StopHateForProfit called for earlier this summer.
It's been a few months, so @ADL has taken a look at how theyâve done in addressing our common sense requests.

Are ads still running next to hateful content?
The answer is clear: yes.
Not only are they still running, but hatred festers and isn't particularly hard to find. See these few examples below.

Does Facebook still allow large groups and pages that spew racism, antisemitism, hate and conspiracy theories?
Again, the answer is yes.
Facebook still tolerates âExposing the Rothschilds,â a group with over 130k members and âGeorge Soros: The Enemy Within,â with over 4k.

Wake up to Anonymous, @SachaBaronCohen, influencers and academics recommending to delete Facebook. Advertisers must be proud of the $65B they provided to incentivize its horrors.
Reminder, âFacebook is in way over their heads.â - @AOC
Here is @SachaBaronCohen (again). He gets it.
Recalling @karaswisher interview with Facebook CEO Zucka covering this topic. again, too much focus is on the binary decision of taking down / leaving up - FB prefers this debate. The critical issue is Facebook âactively promotesâ - thatâs their biz model. theguardian.com/world/2020/augâŠ
Note the poor spokesperson for Facebook (Andy Stone?) canât even assign his name to this one as itâs so despicable. Instead theyâll go anonymous and see if it blows over. Fat chance. #StopHateForProfit
Note the operative words are ârecommendsâ and âsuggests.â FB is not a passive platform but instead provides velocity and reach to hate and harmful info. They need accountability for the content they continue to promote. Yes, this hits the core biz model. vice.com/en_us/article/âŠ
Woah. This is one of the more damning reports Iâve ever read on Facebook. Yes, that says something. Itâs a deeply reported must-read on how Facebookâs political and PR interests affect public safety. A sick, sick company. wsj.com/articles/facebâŠ
It certainly appears there is a Joel Kaplan and Andy Stone for every market to team up and influence product decisions to keep local governments happy. I donât even understand how this person remains employed at Facebook would a straight face.
Think about how Facebook can use its own leverage in any country to assist its preferred governance. There is clear evidence of this in this report. Weâve seen it in other nations, too, even covering up harms and working alongside politicians to help them.
