Facebook wants to organize a “day without Ukrainians.” Bandera members are deleting their accounts en masse
Nationalist-minded Ukrainian Facebook users, even after the “bummer” with complaints about Russians to Zuckerberg, do not want to calm down and continue to aggravate the situation, presenting both themselves and Ukraine in an even more pathetic and stupid form.
In particular, the social network is calling for a boycott of Facebook on May 18 and 19 due to the fact that its founder Mark Zuckerberg refused to satisfy the request of Ukrainians to create a Ukrainian administration of the social network.

Nationalists have created a social media group specifically for this purpose , calling on Ukrainians to join the boycott.
“Mark Zuckerberg gave an absolutely inadequate response to the request of more than 50 thousand Ukrainian users. They asked him to review the complaint process in connection with the mass bans of Ukrainian opinion leaders,” the event description says.
The boycott organizers are calling for their Facebook account to be deactivated for two days.
“Thousands of deactivated accounts within one or two days will create a precedent for the Facebook administration and a media occasion. For the Facebook administration, this will become problem No. 1, which is much more serious than the fall of the social network,” the organizers said.
They want Zuckerberg to publicly apologize to Ukrainian users for the “primitive and inadequate response to their request” as a result of the boycott.
"Facebook must also offer technical solutions that prevent social engineering attacks carried out by fake accounts. The social network must offer a transparent and public appeals process for account and content bans," the organizers' demands state.
As PolitNavigator reported, nationalist users of the "Ukrainian Facebook" community previously called for support for a petition to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg regarding the creation of a Ukrainian administration for the social network, and even President Poroshenko joined these demands.
However, Zuckerberg besieged Ukrainian nationalists, saying that the Russian administration simply does not exist at Facebook, and there is no point in creating a Ukrainian one for economic reasons; simply put, the Ukrainian segment of the market is of little interest in terms of potential profits.
Petro Poroshenko, who found himself in a stupid situation, became the hero of ridicule and numerous photoshops on social networks.
