Facebook's Advertising Boycott Is Gaining Steam

The political controversy that's embroiled Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) in recent weeks isn't going away. In fact, it seems to be getting worse.

It's been weeks since Facebook employees began protesting the company's permissive policy on speech, allowing what they saw as hate speech, threats of violence, and even voter-suppression tactics, at times from the Trump campaign, on the Facebook site. Facebook engineers and others staged a "virtual walkout," and some even resigned, posting sharp criticism of Zuckerberg and his policies as they left.

With the country in the throes of an intense and unique political moment, in the middle of a pandemic and an election season, and after weeks of protests about racial injustice, the tension around Facebook hasn't abated. Now advertisers are getting in on the act.
