Iconic ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's the latest company to join the growing boycott of Facebook and Instagram ads at the urging of the NAACP and other civil rights advocacy groups.

to reaffirm commitment to racial justice initiatives through actions not just words.

The organizations accused Facebook of allowing incitement to violence against protesters fighting for racial justice, silencing Black users on the platform and failing to protect them from online threats, as well as allowing the platform to be used as part of"widespread voter suppression efforts, using targeted disinformation aimed at Black voters."

"For 82 years, we have put people over profits. We're pulling all Facebook/Instagram advertising for the month of July," REI said in a tweet last Friday, with the hashtag #StopHateForProfit. Facebook responded to the campaign saying it remains focused on the work of removing hate speech and providing voting information.

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 they're really hurting small businesses through this boycott, don't you? Business that have already been slammed by COVID are now afraid to advertise, for fear of getting shamed by the mob, just when they need sales mos. This may bankrupt my business and many others.

Memorablelabia I already deleted facebook

What's a facebook? 🤔🤔🤔

The nation is truly going nuts right now. Pretty sure Instagram is not a hotbed of white supremacy.

kristine_kenyon They also make delicious ice cream. Peanut butter cup is my fav

Yup, Facebook is simply the biggest recruiting tool for the Klan and white supremacist period. It’s the biggest platform racists have ever had, to spread hate and misinformation in history. Facebook....a place for Racists.

LincolnsBible FB is NOT harmless social media.

LincolnsBible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

LincolnsBible Why the hell were they having anything to do with Facebook in the first place? Their misdeeds are not exactly a secret.

BLM means Black Lives for Marxism; socialism communist agenda. Check out what the founder, Patrisse Cullors, has stated, “We are trained Marxists”. Do your research. Else, ALL Black Lives Matter, not just George Floyd; NOT their agenda. BTW, ALL Life Matters.

Defund Facebook!!

I'll boycott Facebook and Instagram.🙂What do I get?🤑

I do not want to sleep alone

Delete Facebook yesterday!

BEN N JERRY GOOD

Could someone please provide me with some evidence of 'long history of allowing racist, violent and verifiably false content' or 'widespread voter suppression efforts, using targeted disinformation aimed at Black voters.' They just say things then produce no evidence.

This stuff makes me want to join Facebook. Don’t cave to the mob. They are trying to trample on the 1st Amendment.

Commie ice cream tastes like shit anyway.

Just remember it had to go both ways. It cannot be one-sided!

Cancel culture. Very UnAmerican!

Censorship or stopping blatant lies, I can't stand how Facebook allows racists & Anti-Vaxxers have groups in their platform. These groups lies should not be allowed in their platforms.

So...they want left-wingers banned
