According to The Guardian, one of world’s biggest advertisers — Unilever — says it will avoid platforms that ‘create division’. It further threatens to take its ad purchases off Facebook and Google, if they cannot reign in hate and protect children. Their chief marketing officer says their online spending sometimes is "little better than a swamp in terms of its transparency".

If this finally is it, I say good riddance to surveillance capitalism.

    Ah yes, let us be racist and demeaning cause we NEED it! So, you gonna stop yelling about feminists and antifa then? I mean they need their release valves too...

    Don't worry, I actually think this backlash against PC is a good thing, it will let everyone know who around them is truly regressive and should be shunned. Nothing like a voluntary scarlet letter!

    Are you suggesting that the Big Red "A" no longer stands for "adultress"?
