We need to start boycotting the companies that give certain non profits money.

[socraytes]

Hey CNBC, spit balling here....perhaps a good question to ask from the host would have been. Please give examples of the demands Mr. ADL man is asking of Facebook but instead we hear the host ask, "How was the tone in there?" Riveting journalism /s

[Lee_music]

Not about hate speech it's about taking your 1st amendment away piece by piece.

[sunnycheba]

"Thanks for having me back Andrew. I need the attention. I am a worthless pretender who collects a salary for crying about things that don't matter."

[SultanOfSymmetry]

Fighting hate speech is the EXACT same as fighting FREEDOM OF SPEECH! hey, if you don't like what someone has to say DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! it's remarkably simple, and you're remarkably dull if you can't figure that out.

[DailyNugget]

Notice he never gives examples of exactly what he's talking about. it's all subject to HIS opinion of what "hate content" is. What a joke.

[johnbemery]

Nobody ever says they want to take away freedom of speech, they'll say they want to " take away hate speech".

Who gets to be the censor? Once they start censoring, how will we know what they are actually censoring??

[jordanrideout]

I love how this video has 14 comments and they’re all negative xD

RIP CNBC, thanks for all the lies

[zirdo]

I believe that the supreme court has already ruled that there is no such thing as hate speech, , , , speech is speech and it's protected so they need to stop taking a knee to socialism/communism and mind their own business

[lenpeterson]

The "parler" website allows people to post whatever they want. No censorship!

[GG-yyyx]

ADL: how dare you not do what we say. You’re getting canceled.

The rest of us: okay, boomer.

This guy sounds identical to one of my professor in college that was a self righteous Marxist. Luckily, I️ was able to learn how he spoke and tried to manipulate people to agreeing with him. His words: one of the best techniques in speech to use is to end your statements with “right?” Because it leads your opponent to unconsciously agree with you and consequently lose his counter argument.

They know what they’re doing.

[eugeneflynn]

Troubling that so many comments are negative, and what’s worse wave the 1st Amendment in a conversation where it has no relevance. At issue is NOT government action suppressing speech, it’s a purely private sector demand that a service provider take action against hate speech. I applaud the corporate advertisers standing up for what’s right.

[spencerhall]

I don’t want censorship on Facebook, I’m not an idiot so I can read something and make my own decision, I don’t need Mr Bald to protect me from meanies

[josephdale]

If I disagree with someone, I try to shut them down.

[jsnow]

I've never seen one dude wearing a white hood on facebook.... what are these people talking about???

[gggaming]

I just want to know


Why covid 19 video reaction shut down on facebook?

[mrpmj]

We'll boycott the companies that are boycotting Facebook.

[madogblue]

It's not totally clear cut, the definition of Hate, when people want political views they don't agree with is considered Hate Speech.

[mrpmj]

Facebook should raise the prices for the boycotters.

[nixoni.bogaine]

“Real deliverables” Why not just say what it is
