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.

Facebook has become more powerful than any other non government in the world. The company is run by a few persons that are far removed from reality. In the process it has become an unregulated monopoly who sets what’s right and wrong. It time the TheJusticeDept to break.

You realize you are really hurting small businesses by doing this, don't you? Business that are already getting slammed by COVID are now afraid to advertise, for fear of getting shamed by the mob, just when they need sales most. I for one will never buy your products again.

Plunging sales, like Nike, forthcoming?

We are joining these great brands in boycotting Facebook. We will no longer advertise on this right-wing platform. Facebook FacebookBoycott StopHateForProfit benandjerrys MagnoliaPics eddiebauer patagonia REI thenorthface Arcteryx dashlane Upwork 360i NAACP

Bravo!

It’s genius advertising. look at all the people this reached more then on a fb ad people skip

BBCWorld Good don’t like cartoons anyway

repairrestores1 It's why these two guys are always in my freezer: the only threesome I'll ever have: me, Ben, and Jerry.

BBCWorld Oh no I won't be able to see Bannna nut woke pie with BLM Carmel swirl ads when I say hi to grandma. I am absolutely devastated. Devastated I said!

For all the wrong reasons

Who cares it’s rubbish ice cream anyway 😂

BBCWorld But back in august

But they still have a presence on the site

More free speech being eroded..soon there'll be no consent to diverge from whatever's the going fad of the time..I think the more successful BLM is the more it will backfire going forward..the reason being if you take rights away from a culture of course they'll react negatively

BBCWorld Go woke go broke

BBCWorld Funny enough theres a Boycott of Ben & Jerry's going on & its do to with price & profit. - Nothing else. But i'm sure some dimwit media will twist it once the find the original postings. Looking forward to New News Laws ;)

BBCWorld If Capitalism has no democratic humanity it might as well be Chinese. Good for them.

BBCWorld benandjerrys are really showing how to keep your core principals no matter how big you get. I see you, you beautiful weird hippies- keep on keeping on 💕✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿💕

Ben and Jerry's are iconic omg

BBCWorld Anything that does not follow the leftist narrative is racists. Everyone knows that. But, apparently no one knows that their 1st Amendment right is being whittled away right under their noses. All with the prompting and blessing of media like the BBC.

BBCWorld I’ve never seen a Ben n Jerry’s ad on Facebook in 10 years

BBCWorld And that's no small gesture, granted they have their bottom line to think of and FB is becoming too toxic.

BBCWorld Well, if they focused on the actual racists instead of the normal people who dare to comment that they are proud to be white then they’d actually get somewhere. But these business make me laugh. Why not just stop advertising on their completely?

BBCWorld

BBCWorld Its overpriced anyway

BBCWorld

shame they aren't doing something about black on black crime instead.

Facebook will just fill the space with even more Scam Ads!

Never been on it.. it’s the internet equivalent of Eastenders! Vile!!

Can you get soy flavour ice cream?

Facebook is dying.. Thankfully...

Ben and Jerry's virtue signalling is a joke especially when benandjerrys are zionists, meaning they support genocide and an apartheid state. So I guess all lives don't matter to them.

Fvck benandjerrys, a lot of people are boycotting them, woke pricks.

The free speakers (vast majority of whom aren't remotely racist) are all purged from social media. The left wing, Marxist/Communisty/Socialist bigots are all leaving in protest. RIP facebook, twitter. Hello Parlor.

What about CIA, are they pulling out? Fedbook

Facebook: GOOD or EVIL? - The Four Horsemen of the Business Apocalypse

Sad truth is that many businesses can only protest in limited capacities as they have no alternative to Facebook A July only protest has very limited impact on Zuckerberg.

advertising again, stop it!! You exist by extracting money from working class people. These people, if they are like us, buy other brands.

Can they also persuade all companies to boycott gmb.

Bye then

Just for July? Make it permanent and I might give a damn! deletefacebook facebooksucks fuckerberg

I am protesting by deleting my FB account

benandjerrys just for July? Customers should boycott your products completely and all other companies who are pulling advertising from facebook.

Great. Less pesky ads on FB. Could they stay away for the rest of the year?

., Project Veritas investigation clearly showed Facebook moderators ADMITTING to Censoring Trump supporters without reason and laughing about it. I bet you won’t cover such journalistic reports since it does not fit your pro censorship agenda. DEFUND BBC

It gives you cancer.

Thank You.

So

Why only for July?

The left are eating their own again i see....

He and his team mates did the right thing, taking the knee. The shame is entirely on the shoulders of the maker of the banner, the chartering of the plane and the company that permitted it to be flown. Ashamed that his wife and children's lives dont matter ... Also that of his parents and his white team mates .. what a utter programmed fvkwit he is 😂🤣😂🤣 Please explain why it was offensive? . It is you that are offensive. You are implying that black lives matter and white lives don't matter.
