So let me ask you this: If you had a platform where you could reach hundreds or thousands or millions of people all at once—and you had something really important to say, would you use it? You don't think of yourself as Meryl Streep at the Golden Globes—and you're not—but I guarantee that many of you are using the platforms you DO have every day. Yeah, you're using your platform. Your platform may be bigger than mine or smaller than mine. You have a platform.

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.

And among what's in the post stage is branding. No longer is it about services or products.

  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.
