A 30-day boycott? As in, if they do nothing, everything goes back to normal after 30 days anyways? I'm sure that'll be effective!
It's so people have time to forget and these companies can go back to what they were doing before while still getting the modicum of good will for looking like they took a stand.

Nope, she(Claire) has made a grave error and is pretty naive for thinking that she cannot easily be replaced. Most big companies including Deloitte have many positive ways to support progressive causes. Death threats are not one of them.
Politics is not a defence of incompetence and stupidity.

Quoting myself, but to those that thought shorting Facebook stock was a good idea please note:
June 25 $234.72
June 29 $209.50
July 1 $237.55
Facebook has done the absolute minimum and the stock bounced back in 2 days. I would argue they could have done nothing and they would have seen a similar bounce back. They have more than enough market power to withstand a temporary boycott from a few sponsors.
I'd still short them, facebook is way less relevant to my foster kids, few of them have a facebook page, it will go the way of Myspace in the end

Yeah, I'm in the mid 30s, but just finished a university degree where most of my classmates were in their mid 20s.
I'm Facebook friends with most of them, but the only time I really see them use it was for communication through the faculty Facebook page, and for Facebook Messenger (for group stuff).
Instagram is definitely much more prevalent from ~20-30 year olds, and it seems like Tik Tok is more popular than Instagram for under 20.
I guess Facebook does own Instagram though.

Using a hyperbolic comparison is not exactly a death threat.
People have been saying this for years, but Facebook had their biggest quarter ever in the 4th quarter of last year.
Yes but no one likes facebook, we use it because we have to, and if there is one thing the last 20 years has shown its the fall of what is in the end just a web site can be brutally fast
That is insane.
What he did was obviously very wrong, but the fact that he did that now, when there's 100% going to be cameras on them for every single interaction for the foreseeable future, is crazy.

How much of that was bots, trolls farms, and deceased people?
Considering their advertisement infrastructure, I'm guessing this is irrelevant. They make money from ad targeting and engagement on those ads. Businesses are clearly seeing a tangible reward to keep investing.

Well yeah, that's a pretty big "I guess" addition to your thoughts. "Yeah I agree nobody uses that company anymore, they lost out to this other platform who's owners are probably now rich!".
Ya, if you think the American media giants are bad, don't go running into the arms of the Chinese. TikTok and Wechat stand out, but I'd be wary of any popular new app coming out of that Country.
