| Coca-Cola joins Facebook boycott with a pause on all social media advertising starting July 1st Posted: 26 Jun 2020 04:43 PM PDT  Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images The Coca-Cola Company is pausing all digital advertising on social media platforms globally for at least 30 days starting July 1st, the soda giant announced on Friday evening. The move is part of a broader boycott of Facebook and Instagram organized by the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, and other organizations called the "Stop Hate For Profit" campaign. Coca-Cola is going one step further than some of those companies and banning all ads globally on social media platforms, not just Facebook and Instagram. That would suggest the boycott will hit Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms as well. "Starting on July 1, The Coca-Cola Company will... |
| Popular RPG Disco Elysium may be adapted into a TV show Posted: 26 Jun 2020 04:15 PM PDT  Image: ZA/UM There's a TV series based on the 2019 indie game Disco Elysium possibly coming, Variety reports. Disco Elysium launched in October 2019 exclusively on PC, set in the same universe as the 2013 novel Sacred and Terrible Air. In the game, you play as an experienced detective tasked with solving a murder mystery in a city still recovering from a decades-old war. Following its release, Disco Elysium received a positive reception from fans and critics; The Verge even recommends it as a game you should play if you recently bought or built a gaming PC. Many praised the game for its watercolor art style, narrative depth, and writing, all elements that set up the basis for an appealing TV series. |
| Disney delays Mulan again as movie studios continue game of wait-and-see amid pandemic Posted: 26 Jun 2020 04:09 PM PDT  Disney has delayed Mulan for the second time this year, moving the film from July 24th to August 21st. The move follows Warner Bros.' decision to delay Christopher Nolan's Tenet for a second time from July 31st to August 12th. Disney doesn't want to be the first studio to release a major film in the middle of a pandemic when the company is unsure of about how many people will show up. The delay is added confirmation that Disney and Warner Bros. are engaged in a game of release chicken. Neither studio wants to go first, testing out their potential billion-dollar movies in a market where the films could lose money if audiences don't turn up or restrictions mean that audiences can't watch said movies. Disney CEO Bob Chapek previously... |
| Ubisoft places multiple employees on leave following allegations of misconduct Posted: 26 Jun 2020 03:51 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Multiple employees at Ubisoft, including two executives, have been placed on administrative leave as the company conducts a corporate investigation following allegations of professional misconduct, Bloomberg reports. The two executives placed on leave are Tommy François and Maxime Béland, two employees that serve as vice presidents in a division overseeing worldwide development of the company's games, Bloomberg reports. Both men face numerous allegations that surfaced after multiple accusers came forward on Twitter. In the last week, the video game industry has faced a #MeToo reckoning with an outpouring of stories on social media. Many in the Twitch and YouTube... |
| Dr Disrespect is gone and Twitch won’t say why Posted: 26 Jun 2020 02:26 PM PDT  Photo Illustration by Alex Castro | Photography by Bobby Quillard Dr Disrespect disappeared from Twitch this afternoon, with his account vanishing from the site, leading to rumors that he had been banned. The disappearance comes two days after Twitch said it would begin issuing permanent suspensions for streamers as it cracked down on accusations of harassment and sexual misconduct. Twitch would not confirm that it had banned Dr Disrespect, why he might have been banned, or whether he might be permanently banned. Twitch signed Dr Disrespect to an exclusive two year contract back in March for an undisclosed but "life-changing" amount of money. The streamer had also made a deal with a production company to create an animated TV series around his character. Dr Disrespect, real name Herschel "Guy" Beahm,... |
| Are TikTok activists actually shutting down Trump’s online merch stores? An investigation Posted: 26 Jun 2020 01:16 PM PDT  Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images Some critics of President Donald Trump have spent the last few days trying to lock up Trump-branded merchandise by leaving thousands of products from his online stores in shopping carts. But while the attack has become a kind of resistance meme, reminiscent of recent pranks on the president's Tulsa rally, it's far less clear whether the hoax actually prevented Trump's stores from selling merchandise. Earlier this week, TikTok and Twitter users started posting videos and messages claiming they were "buying" the entire supply of items like Trump baseballs and "Baby Lives Matter" onesies, then leaving them in the cart indefinitely, making them unavailable to other visitors. The attacks apparently involved at least two sites: Trump's... |
| The Trump administration wants social media platforms to police protesters Posted: 26 Jun 2020 01:14 PM PDT  Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images The Trump administration has sent letters to social media companies requesting they take action on posts calling for people to take down statues, commit acts of violence, and break curfews, as first reported by The Washington Post. The acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, sent letters to the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Snap, and Google's parent company Alphabet. In a copy of one of the letters obtained by The Verge, Wolf claims that DHS agents witnessed "crimes such as burglary, arson, aggravated assault, rioting, looting, and defacing public property" and that perpetrators used social media "as a tool to plan, organize, and effectuate these crimes." |
| Facebook will ban ads that present races or religions as threats Posted: 26 Jun 2020 12:42 PM PDT  Photo by Abdulhamid Hosbas/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Facebook is placing new restrictions on hateful content in ads, explicitly banning ads that encourage racial divisions. Specifically, the new policy will "prohibit claims that people from a specific race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, gender identity or immigration status are a threat to the physical safety, health or survival of others." The policy will also restrict ads that express contempt for immigrants or refugees. Notably, the new restrictions apply only to advertisements and will not affect posts without paid promotion. "Facebook stands for giving people a voice, and that especially means people who have previously not had as much voice, or as much power to share their own... |

| Unilever will pull ads from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for the rest of the year Posted: 26 Jun 2020 10:28 AM PDT  Photo Illustration by Mateusz Slodkowski/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Consumer goods giant Unilever said Friday that it would halt all ad spending on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter through the end of the year, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Unilever owns dozens of popular household brands like Hellmann's mayonnaise and Dove soap, and typically spends more than $1 billion each year promoting them through various ad channels. As of press time, Facebook's stock had fallen more than 7 percent in the wake of the news. "We invest billions of dollars each year to keep our community safe and continuously work with outside experts to review and update our policies," a Facebook spokesperson told NBC News. "We know we have more work to do, and we'll continue to work with civil rights groups, GARM,... |
