MarketWatch:

Zuckerberg said the boycott is more of a PR issue than one that will hurt the social-media giant’s bottom line, according to a report Wednesday by The Information, which cited a transcript of remarks Zuckerberg gave at an employees-only virtual town hall Friday.

“We’re not gonna change our policies or approach on anything because of a threat to a small percent of our revenue, or to any percent of our revenue,” he said, according to The Information.

Here’s a link to The Information article [paywall].

More from Zuckerberg’s town hall remarks:

“You know, we don’t technically set our policies because of any pressure that people apply to us,” he said, according to The Information. “And, in fact, usually I tend to think that if someone goes out there and threatens you to do something, that actually kind of puts you in a box where in some ways it’s even harder to do what they want because now it looks like you’re capitulating, and that sets up bad long-term incentives for others to do that [to you] as well.”

Two things: First, no. If you are wrong, get called on being wrong, then turn around and do what’s right, fixing what’s wrong is a double-win. You are doing the right thing, and you get your advertisers back.

And second, this provides even more incentive for advertisers to boycott Facebook and more incentive for people to delete their Facebook account.

Side note, I’d love to know of a Facebook alternative that is privacy respecting, truth valuing, easy for folks to use, and that provides an easy way for families to keep in touch. If you know of such a beast, please do share.
