No evidence a new Chick-fil-A policy has sparked boycott calls

Chick-fil-A, a national fried chicken sandwich chain with a devoted fan base, has been the target of boycott calls before.

Recent social media posts are saying the fast food favorite is in the crosshairs again because of a new company policy. But unless people are angry about its peppermint chip milkshake returning or the chain’s expansion to Singapore, we have no idea why.

“Chick fil-A’s new policies have people thinking for boycott,” a Dec. 1 Facebook post said in sticker text on a photo of the company’s sign.

“No way this is happening…I’m thinking of boycott too!! Look what they’re doing, check the comment,” the post’s caption said. The comments linked to a post on a nondescript, ad-heavy WordPress blog that first posted Nov. 25.

This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

The website’s name was listed as “TA” and it contained a number of short, grammatically problematic and spelling-challenged posts, many of them duplicates, with no authors’ names. The Chick-fil-A post appeared three times and had an incomplete headline that read, “Chick-fil-A Delivers a Bittersweet.”

The Chick-fil-A blog post did not refer to any new policies or boycotts. The two-paragraph post referred to news of the chicken chain’s original 1967 store at Atlanta’s Greenbriar Mall closing down. That happened in May 2023, Chick-fil-A’s website said.

We found the same Chick-fil-A post and headline on similar websites and other social media posts using the same language.

NEIGHBOR KEPT KNOCKING OVER MY TRASH BINS, GETTING ME FINED BY THE HOA 3 TIMES—SO I TAUGHT HIM A LESSON ABOUT POLITENESS When my husband passed away two years ago, I thought the hardest battles were behind me. Raising three boys—ages 14, 12, and 9—alone wasn’t easy, but we found a rhythm. We shared chores, kept the garden lively, and leaned on each other for strength. Life was finally starting to feel manageable again—until my neighbor started his nonsense. He was a 65-year-old man living alone across the street, and for reasons beyond me, he had decided my trash bins were his enemy. Every trash day, like clockwork, I’d find them overturned, their contents scattered across the street. The HOA had fined me THREE TIMES already, and I had no one to back me up. I caught him in the act one morning. Standing at the window, coffee in hand, I watched as he strolled over, tipped the bins with one swift motion, and scurried back into his house before I could even grab my shoes. It wasn’t a stray dog or a gust of wind. It was him. Furious, I stormed outside, ready to knock on his door and give him a piece of my mind. But as I raised my fist to knock, something stopped me. His blinds were drawn, and the porch was eerily quiet. So, I decided to teach him a lesson about politeness. ⬇️Story continues in the first comment..
