Roger Waters says he has rejected Facebook's request to use 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2' in an ad for Instagram.
During the event, Waters read from a letter that he says came from Facebook following his response. “We want to thank you for considering this project,” he read. “We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.”
“And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” he replied, “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.'”
