from the hit-the-hate-button dept.

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.

    Sad thing is, my first 2 paragraphs are true, there never was a lump, and the Trump Sux was clickbait.

    Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.

    careful when you try to invert reality, those kinds of things are serious business and you shouldn't talk lightly about them. You want people to think you like trump?

      As someone once said, instead of trying to figure out why someone hates you, figure out why you care.
