[[Facebook only cares about money]]

[[Facebook]] will make some changes around its policy on hateful content, but only from the threat of lost ad revenue. Not from actually caring about the victims of it.

β€œLet’s be honest,” said Moghal, "these tech platforms have generated income and interest from this divisive content; they won’t change their practices until they begin to see a significant cut to their revenue."

Sucks that only big companies pulling out can have an effect on FB. But props to Stop Hate for Profit for putting pressure on companies.
