4. POLICIES
• Greenpeace launched a campaign in 2010 against Nestlé’s use of palm oil from questionable sources with a video that very few saw
• Nestlé, went legal immediately and demanded the content be removed
• Greenpeace responded by spreading the video by alternate channels and causing a far greater story
• Nestlé further antagonised users by threatening them with deletion if comments posted on their Facebook page included doctored Nestlé logos
Bad use of “policy” & engagement!
