Facebook's (FB  ) meeting with representatives from the Stop Hate for Profit campaign was unproductive, and according to the campaign representatives, a "disappointment." The meeting appeared to be little more than a PR move, according to group representatives, although Facebook's COO would later defend the company and its progress in policing content.

The meeting between Facebook and Stop Hate for Profit took place on Tuesday using Zoom (ZM  ). Present at the meeting for Facebook were Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, COO Sheryl Sandberg, and Chief Product Officer Christopher Cox, present for SHFP were NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson, Color of Change President Rashad Robinson, Free Press Co-CEO Jessica J. Gonzalez, and Anti-Defamation League Director and CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.

The SHFP leaders came out of the meeting feeling very dissatisfied, feeling as if Facebook had just been going through the motions for PR.

"The meeting we just left was a disappointment, [Facebook] showed up to the meeting expecting an 'A' for attendance," said Rashad Robinson.

In a press release on the campaign's website, the group went on to state that it believed Facebook leadership wasn't ready to address the issues their platform has created. The group complained that only one of their demands was mentioned, and even then, but it appeared to only be in a half-hearted manner.

"Instead of committing to a timeline to root out hate and disinformation on Facebook, the company's leaders delivered the same old talking points to try to placate us without meeting our demands. Facebook approached our meeting today like it was nothing more than a PR exercise," said Jessica Gonzalez.

Facebook has issued statements in its defense following the meeting. Spokesman Andy Stone reported that the company had been taking measures to combat "suppression" on the social media platform by establishing policies to counteract voting and census suppression, and added that Facebook had banned some 200 white supremacy groups.

Sheryl Sandberg has also spoken out in defense of Facebook, posting to her personal Facebook account on Tuesday, stating "We have clear policies against hate - and we strive constantly to get better and faster at enforcing them. We have made real progress over the years, but this work is never finished and we know what a big responsibility Facebook has to get better at finding and removing hateful content."
