Nonprofits Mull Leaving Facebook Amid Multiple Concerns
Leaders of several prominent nonprofits are discussing reducing Facebook’s role in their media mix, if not leaving it entirely. The conversation reflects a growing perception that the online platform is censoring nonprofits’ messaging, thwarting organizing efforts and putting barriers between nonprofits and donors. Some nonprofit leaders are concerned about the data profiles Facebook builds on its users as they engage with advertising and other content, fearing these could offer opportunities for disinformation spreaders to target or misinform swayable individuals.
