This is surely true! Hate is very bad for Facebook.

But the real question is: in what ways do the features that are good for FB (like Newsfeed algo, focus on groups, etc...) make hate more prominent and what are the tradeoffs in changing them. https://t.co/cnHcNvP2NJ
The Facebook advertiser boycott continues, unabated, with hundreds of companies on board.

This week has been about one weak point in the Facebook defenses: advertisers worried about their brands. But there's another one: the good opinion of its employees, especially engineering talent. I would keep my eye on that lever. https://t.co/KIcVUVlZmx

Clegg frames hate on the platform as a minority of content and that finding it is like “looking for a needle in the haystack.” He touts FB’s AI systems.

"For Facebook, the boycott is unlikely to have a big financial impact. The top 100 brands on Fb in 2019 brought in only 6% of its total $70B in annual revenue...Fb said last year its top 100 advertisers accounted for less than 20% of total ad revenue."https://t.co/B9mijCS1AL
