Of the top 25 Facebook advertisers in 2019, which include Uber and Netflix, only three, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Pfizer, have said they are pausing ad spending

the ones with presumably the most leverage — have stayed quiet https://www.cnn.com/... Barry Ritholtz / @ritholtz : Walmart, Wells Fargo, Uber, Netflix, Domino's, American Express. AT&T, among big brands that are still major Facebook advertisers (@slpng_giants has more work to do) https://www.cnn.com/... James Rhine / @jamesrhine : CNN is running 1200 ads on Facebook right now https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... Neville Hobson / @jangles : For this #boycott to make any difference at all, it needs at least 20 of those top #advertisers to take a stand. Chances? https://twitter.com/... @steveguest : This is not journalism. This is activism. https://twitter.com/... Jim Banks / @repjimbanks : .@CNN needs to fire the progressive activists responsible for this story and hire journalists to replace them. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... @chrisstrub : 👀 “Even if all 100 of Facebook's biggest advertisers joined in (the boycott), they would account for just 6% of the company's annual ad revenue.” https://twitter.com/... Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn : After reading this, my first thought: Where is Sheryl Sandberg? I get that this is a big deal and therefore important to have Mark be the face of it. I guess I'm just so used to the Sheryl speaking tours from previous scandals it's weird not seeing her https://www.cnn.com/... Dylan Byers / @dylanbyers : https://twitter.com/... Brian Fung / @b_fung : We looked at the 25 biggest advertisers on Facebook to see how many of them have formally joined #StopHateForProfit or said they've pulled Facebook ads. Only three have confirmed. https://www.cnn.com/... Brian Fung / @b_fung : The others either gave non-committal responses, or did not respond to our requests for comment. Kaya Yurieff / @kyurieff : Many top advertisers on Facebook are staying silent about the ad boycott. Of the 25 largest spenders on Facebook ads last year, only three companies are pausing ad spending. Others like Home Depot, Domino's & Walmart have said nothing.
