This includes Coke, Pepsi, Adidas and Reebok, Starbucks, Ford, Unilever, Colgate, Vans, The North Face, and Patagonia.

Why the double standard???

"But many of these companies—including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Adidas, and Reebok—have been regular advertisers on VK, a popular Russian media website used by many white supremacists and neo-Nazis who have been banned from Facebook. Several of these companies continue to have a marketing presence on the Russian website, raising questions about their recent concern about "hate speech" on social media sites."

Because those companies are all BS.

Most "American" companies are planning for a future of not making or selling anything in the USA shithole.

I just really don't understand it.
Their whole premise of boycotting is proved as BS.
Are they just un-America then??
I thought their bottom line would be money, but can't see how this is the case.

So disgusted.

They just figure they'll make more :money: by running ads on website X where they don't have to worry about boycotts, as opposed to website J where they do.

It's all about the :money:

That's it. The :money:

It's not like they give two shits about black people, or any other kind of people.

Because they don't.

That's the thing. If it's all about $ why stop at FB? That's got to generate more money.

NEVER thought I would say this, but congrats to Zucker for not caving - yet.
