OK.

OK.<br />The big backlash occurred on a Nestle run forum on FaceBook. <br />This "Jazz" forum was filling up with "bad-ass" musicians because Nestle had successfully requested YouTube to take down a gruesome Greenpeace video, which was part of a campaign they were waging against Nestle due to their use of Palm Oil. New Palm Oil plantations threaten Orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra by destroying their natural habitat.<br /><br />The forum was getting chaotic as the bad ass musicians were blowing and tinkling unfavourable riffs with tales of woe about Orangutans and deforestation. <br /><br />The Nestle moderator, obviously stressed, posted: <br /><b>"To repeat: we welcome your comments, but please don't post using an altered version of any of our logos as your profile pic - they will be deleted."</b><br />thus acting like the old command and control hierarchy of a Classical Orchestra. "I speak, you listen".<br /><br />The response was immediate, with posts like:<br />"To repeat: we welcome your product, but please don't put rainforest destruction on our shopping list. It will be deleted."<br />"I'll make you a deal, Nestle. I won't post using 'your logo' if you stop using unsustainable palm oil sources in your products."<br />AND<br />"Wow... this comment section became a case study in my social media seminar..."<br /><br />In a Jazz Forum, Nestle wasn't in a position to dictate. By threatening to eject members of the audience they weren't sharing or being collaborative. The audience retaliated almost unanimously with some harsh and dark grooves. <br /><br />Since then, of course, Nestle has decided to play along to the audiences' Chopsticks. In mid May they announced that they would "ban the use of palm oil that comes from high risk plantations or farms linked to deforestation." They finally listened to the audience. Call and response. Perhaps a little dancing?Marc Jarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947645470536053587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877948443768653355.post-59210963319859816012010-05-17T16:59:05.639+10:002010-05-17T16:59:05.639+10:00What you've written is all very well and good,...What you've written is all very well and good, but does it help anyone?
