Outdoor apparel brand The North Face has become the best-known company yet to commit to an advertising boycott of Facebook in light of the social media platform's handling of misinformation and hate speech — a move that could open the door for other brands to do the same.
The brand's decision responds to a pressure campaign by top civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, known as #StopHateForProfit, which on Wednesday began calling for advertisers to suspend their marketing on Facebook in the month of July.
"We're in," The North Face tweeted. "We're out @Facebook #StopHateForProfit."
Hours later, outdoor equipment retailer REI said it will join the boycott.
[...] The activists demanding change face an enormously ambitious task. Facebook is the second-largest player in US digital marketing after Google, and last year generated $69.7 billion from advertising worldwide.

Fucking millenials with their fucking drama.
Facefuck is your shit. For it, you bitch and moan, against it, the same shit.
Boomers and millenials, the perfect combo storm.
There goes American century.

So, that leaves you as part of what generation? All I ever see is someone complaining about Boomers or complaining about Millenials. At least they're doing something, then? Haven't heard a peep about anyone else.

What's your fediverse URL? I find your ideas intriguing, and I would like to send you a friend request over a distributed social networking protocol.

Are Millennials doing the looting though? They are are in their 30's and 40's now, and the crowds I see are much younger. I think it's the Z's that are the idiots doing most of the looting.

Just save some time and refer to all generations beyond the millennials as post-millennials. Age, after all, is just a number.

It's mostly "Zoomers" and young Millennials, based on the photos I've seen.
That said, older Millennials are only in their mid-30s — the people in their late 30s & early 40s are the Xennials [wikipedia.org]. (Which makes us sound like houseplants with an identity disorder, but whatever.)

Those would be the people spending hours on social media while trying to make themselves look more interesting.

Yes. Please do forget Gen-X as we take control from the Boomers and don't let the Millenials have any.

"Facebook is millenial cancer and should be burned to the ground!"
"Ok, let us boycott buying ads on FB to show our displeasure."
"NO!!! NOT LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING CUCK BITCHES!!!"
Ummm, so the only factor tying these strangely paradoxical views together would be "I want to promote white nationalism and destroy the world."
Brilliant mate, spot on!
