Facebook announces plans to curb 'hateful content' as Coca-Cola pulls ads

"We already restrict certain types of content in ads that we allow in regular posts, but we want to do more to prohibit the kind of divisive and inflammatory language that has been used to sow discord," he added.

"There is no place for racism in the world and there is no place for racism on social media," James Quincey, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, said in a brief statement. Coca-Cola will use the pause to"reassess our advertising policies to determine whether revisions are needed," Mr Quincey said.

In a statement on Friday the company, which owns ice cream firm Ben & Jerry's, said it was not going to advertise with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in the US until at least the end of the year.

I’ve just done a convert from Facebook to Twitter because it’s so incredibly toxic and flooded with misinformation.

I’ll believe it when I see it, enough of the hate.

Doesn’t matter what Zuckerberg Says he’s doing I BOYCOTTED Facebook when I Banned MURDOCHS Fox from my life

Hate speech or speech that doesn’t fit your agenda, because from where I’m sitting it looks a little like censorship of anything that goes against the mainstream view. Parler is growing and Facebook and twatter will be obsolete in no time.

Good F fb in the A!!!

FAKENEWS !!!!!!

Better ban SBS and ABC from Facebook then. They have the most hate speech of all.

Great news. More people are ditching it now it became a haven for conspiracy theorists, conservative weirdos and boomers posting stupid memes. They kinda ruined it.

Social media platform's two-way standard speech review ultimately hurts its own development future.

I deleted facebook a few years ago, I don't miss it one bit.

Hateful speech = Conservative views.

Until people have moved on?

This is a step in right direction, hit him where it hurts, his purse, but he needs to do much more to entice me back to FB

'Hate speech' is whatever the establishment defines it as. If you are a dissident - whatever that means - prepare for you and your families to be rounded up and sent to the virtual gulags.

Well, how ethical of him! The money-grubbing little grub!

Think their way or be erased.

No such thing as 'hate speech'. If it's not illegal under the laws of USA then it's not illegal to post on social media platforms which are USA based companies. Legality of posts ought to be considered with reference to laws of countries where the company is based.

You mean shut down feee speech. Why does the left hate free speech? Just like socialist nazi Germany.
