'Disappointing' Zuckerberg meeting fails to yield results, say Facebook boycott organizers
Source: The Guardian
The organizers behind a major advertiser boycott of Facebook have called a meeting with Mark Zuckerberg and other executives disappointing, saying the company failed to commit to concrete solutions for addressing hate speech and misinformation on the platform.
Officials at Facebook, including Zuckerberg, the CEO, and Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer, met with members of the coalition of civil rights groups over video chat for an hour on Tuesday to discuss the largest boycott in Facebook history, which has gained the support of more than 1,000 of its advertisers, including Unilever, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks.

Same old talking points."
They showed up to the meeting expecting an A for attendance. Attending alone is not enough.
I hope Warren is on the next cabinet and nails Fuckerberg and Sandberg.

seemed like a bad idea at the time and now it's even worse.
However, I can refuse to participate in anything to do with Facebook, which I regularly do. "Visit us on Facebook." Nope, not ever.
