Facebook has pledged $100 million to support the news industry during the coronavirus crisis,ポルノ映画 最高に興奮する the company announced Monday.
The company will grant $25 million to local news funding through its Facebook Journalism Project, as well as $75 million in additional marketing spending, with the goal "to move money over to news organizations around the world."
