Regular reminder that as much as we often talk in the language of lofty principles when discussing content moderation, "brand safety" is a real behind the scenes driver and advertisers' understanding of "free speech" is unlikely to be the same as yours...https://twitter.com/daphnehk/status/1398318473193811971 …
This thesis makes no sense. Remember when a lot of advertisers very publicly boycotted Facebook and their revenue was up 48% the next quarter?

“Lot” is subjective. In fact when compared to total US FB advertisers, probably less than 1% were part of the boycott. Which business in the world changes itself completely to satisfy 1% of its customers?

Not enough boycotted to make a difference for FB. Essentially, should FB care if a majority of their advertisers don’t care?
