Right now the boycott of Facebook's advertising platforms is in the embryonic stages. Kicked off by civil rights leaders it has been adopted from companies ranging from Ben & Jerry's to Eddie Bauer. But, others such as Unilever (parent of Ben & Jerry's) and GM have decided against that kind of initiative. Instead they will speak with Facebook about eliminating hate speech and misinformation. In 2019, advertising accounted for about 99% of Facebook's revenue.

  In a sense, the legal media has been transformed into an Alcoholics Anonymous speaker-meeting platform. The tone and content of Law.com's coverage of Greg Smith's sharing the saga of his alcoholism at a Husch Blackwell partner meeting are positive. The takeaway could be: outing the stigma of having been addicted to booze can encourage lawyers still in that pickle to have an Ah-Ha moment. They will embrace they are in trouble with alcoholism and get treatment. Nice scenario.
