Cleaning The Anti-Social Media Toilet

Cleaning The Anti-Social Media Toilet



Read this about a corporation – Unilever – that says it is going to start pulling its ads from (anti)social media sites like FB and YouTube if they don’t start to clean up their content. Referring to; hateful, offensive and derogatory content, fake news, fraud, etc, etc.

While I’m no fan of the corporatizing of the US social media is IMO a steaming shit pile and is a significant part of the divisiveness problems we are experiencing.

Since links don’t work here go to the site “TechCrunch” and the article named “Unilever warns social media to clean up "toxic" content”.

I don't like censorship either, but when it becomes threats and outright lies for political gain then a line has been crossed IMO.

    I am on that Book Face place...Not under my name...I ran down the list of products...They hardly have any presence there...Even less now I would imagine...Folks would be surprised as to how many products are under their "umbrella" so to speak...Kinda like this place...So many portals only one database...
Interesting to hear, I wonder if they have already begun to back off

    Likely so, but according to the article "social" media is where they have a big presence.

    So they're upset they can't control what's on social media?
    I understand most of it's totally out of control, but for a corporation to bitch about something like that makes me wonder just what they think they can do about it! I'm not a fan of any of the social media sites...in fact I've never been on them...but when a corporation is aware of what they're like, they shouldn't get involved with them.
No they're not bitching, they are taking a stand. What they can do is not spend their ad dollars on sites that they consider to be promoting offensive behavior.

True, that could pose a problem, but at the moment IMO a great deal, quality-wise, of "social media" is offensive,
