Facebook is currently dealing with the largest ad boycott in its history, with nearly 1,000 brands pulling paid advertising for the month of July. The boycott aims to apply pressure on Facebook to address hate speech on its namesake app and Instagram. After meeting with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other top company executives today, four of the boycott's organizers joined Dan on Re:Cap. Rashad Robinson of Color of Change, Derrick Johnson of the NAACP, Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL, and Jessica González of Free Press discuss why they organized the boycott, what they took from today's meeting, and what comes next.
