Topic: Ad Boycott

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) led a "disappointing" meeting with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg regarding the "Stop Hate for Profit" ad boycott. The ADL demanded that Facebook hire a Chief Civil Rights Officer and submit to independent audits of hate speech on the platform. Zuckerberg's claim that AI removes 89% of hate content was rejected by the ADL, which compared the failure rate to faulty seatbelts in a car.

Mark Zuckerberg told employees that Facebook will not change its policies despite a growing advertiser boycott led by groups like "Stop The Hate For Profit." Large brands including Starbucks and Coca-Cola have paused advertising, but Zuckerberg noted they represent a small fraction of total revenue. Small business owners report that Facebook's targeted advertising remains the most effective ROI in the industry.

The Financial Times named George Soros its "Person of the Year," which the hosts interpret as a "globalist wink." Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson faces an advertiser boycott after comments regarding immigration making the country "poorer and dirtier." The hosts argue the comments were taken out of context and represent a coordinated effort by the left to remove a "nuisance" from the airwaves.
