Mark Zuckerberg told employees last week that Facebook was "not gonna change" in response to the growing advertiser boycott over its hate-speech policies, The Information reported Wednesday.
Zuckerberg called the boycott a "reputational" issue, saying it threatened only a "small percent" of Facebook's revenue and predicting advertisers would return to the platform "soon enough," according to The Information.
More than 500 companies have joined the boycott, including major brands such as Coca-Cola, Ford, Starbucks, and Verizon.
Civil-rights groups called on advertisers to abandon the platform after Zuckerberg refused to take action on inflammatory posts by President Donald Trump about unrest in the US.
