Ben and Jerry's joins growing list of firms pulling advertising from Facebook platforms throughout July
The Stop Hate for Profit campaign was launched last week by advocacy groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Color Of Change.
The movement has said it is a"response to Facebook's long history of allowing racist, violent and verifiably false content to run rampant on its platform". Stop Hate for Profit has called on advertisers to pressure the company to adopt stricter measures against racist and hateful content on its platforms by stopping all spending on advertising with it throughout July.Facebook, and its chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, have often been criticised for the handling of controversial subjects.
