“Coca-Cola, Hershey and Honda have agreed to roll back advertising on Facebook through July, part of a coordinated campaign to force the tech giant to enact stricter content-moderation policies on its platform. The ‘Stop Hate for Profit’ campaign argues that Facebook has ‘turned a blind eye to blatant voter suppression,’ ‘allowed incitement to violence against protesters fighting for racial justice in America,’ partnered with conservative news outlets with ‘records of working with known white nationalists,’ and in general promoted ‘hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism and violence.’ Dozens of businesses have also agreed to the boycott including Mozilla, North Face, REI and Verizon. The boycott, a project of the Anti-Defamation League, offers several tips it argues will help Facebook ‘provide more support to people who are targets of racism, antisemitism and hate.’”
