Ironically this will give Facebook even more power if they concede to these demands, which I think will ultimately backfire. Censorship as the woke tool of corporations is one of the craziest things happening in a very crazy year.

- Avicebron 6y agoNot OP, but probably the fact that being woke implies the use of censorship. On their face they seem mutually exclusive
- prepend 6y agoI think it’s just guerrilla marketing. I got an email today from a standing desk vendor I met at a conference urging me to join them in celebrating Juneteenth. And to buy a desk. I wonder what the conversation rate is for these woke-facaded ads. Maybe companies are geniuses/amoral jerks and these things work. I have noticed people assuming that available data are representative of the population and I wonder if companies are making these decisions based on thinking that tweets/online activity are uniform with all people. I had a colleague who would say “any change is better than nothing” and then make changes after talking to a single person.
