"news about it is coming hard and fast"
The difference with this story is its being driven by the media organizations, not by "news" - any actual issue or event.
There is an obvious motivation here, the mainstream media organizations see this as a way to concentrate advertising dollars back to them, and they will paint any major brand that doesn't do so as supporting ISIS/Nazi's.
Google is in a dangerous position here, they probably have the data to prove this is a nonsense narrative, but the media organizations had enough influence to force big brands to stay away. Stuck between protecting their moat, and going to war with the mainstream media.
- generic_user 10y agoThe people who are making these decisions are precisely the billionaire one percent that has had there agenda disrupted because people are getting information from alternative media that challenges the narrative of the mainstream corporate press. They would love to get back to the days when they could just throw crap over the wall onto the TV and people had not other sources of information or any way to collectively discuss its validity.
