Starbucks, Levi's and global alcoholic drinks giant Diageo are the latest blue-chip companies to join the growing advertising boycott of Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram over the social media giant's handling of racism, violence and misinformation on its platform. that Starbucks will pause advertising on "all social media platforms," but continue to post without paid promotion.
In a statement posted to Twitter, the British drinks company Diageo, the owner of the Smirnoff, Tanqueray and Johnnie Walker brands, said, "Diageo strives to promote diversity, including through our own marketing campaigns. From July 1, we will pause all paid advertising globally on major social media platforms. We will continue to discuss with media partners how they will deal with unacceptable content.

Isn’t this appeasement by Facebook the epitome of profit over principle? Censoring free speech bc they will lose advertising money from big corps? StopHateForProfit TuckerCarlson greggutfeld seanhannity HawleyMO tedcruz SenTomCotton LindseyGrahamSC GOP DonaldJTrumpJr
Deactivate your FB account on JULY 4th to ProtestFaceBook. Deactivating does not permanently close your account. You can reactivate anytime. Let's send a message loud and clear to FaceBook. StopHateForProfit SocialJustice BLM BlackLivesMattters Please RT.
Cyborg zuckerberg probably still has no expression on his face after losing $7 billion. FacebookIsACesspool
He should start another website called Hate Book for people to vent and have Facebook for people not to hate; the way is advertisers are leaving.
Now all that's left are those scam brands that have flashy marketing and never actually show up when ordered 😐
Good. I won't see their annoying ads on Insta
Good!!
Misinformation? as in things left leaning people don't agree with?
Hypocrites,some of them donated to BLM
:/ think that this is wrong
Good riddence. Even more reason to NEVER purchase anything from Starbucks again. With my new HamiltonBeach egg bites maker, I can have my favorite Starbucks treat any time of the day, sans the virtue signaling.
Mark Zuckerberg only worships at the altar of his money. BoycottFacebook
And what has Facebook done...?
WHY DON'T WE JUST GET RID OF FACEBOOK!!!
starbucks needs to make up its fucking mind
slpng_giants Soon the only advertisers that will be left : Mr Pillow guy and boner pills
slpng_giants Think Zuckerberg ready yet to stop enabling Putin and Trump yet Facebook
Would Starbucks stop the franchise with Maxim's group in HK ? AnnieWu , one of the major shareholder , delivered a hate speech to hkprotestors during the antielab protest.
garywhitta I've still got my Facebook but pretty much just to keep in touch with some extended family. I've pretty much deleted all my posts and information and am not following or liking any sites. It's exclusively just hey what are you up to posts.
And hopefully its lack of empathy on Animal abuse.
TananariveDue He has all that one and went with that haircut.
Very sad they are leaving Facebook
I left facebook cause someone hacked my account & they didn’t do much to protect my account!
slpng_giants Hey, McDonalds very disappointed I saw your ad on Facebook yesterday. Are you going to join StopHateForProfit or remain part of the problem?
slpng_giants This makes me happy.
Facebook is pure ass
slpng_giants It would be good if people are purchasing from any of the companies to specifically mention appreciating their boycotting advertising on Facebook due to hate. I've been fighting hate on a platform that promises to be free of it for a long time and big pages equal big hate.
slpng_giants BoycottFacebook CancelFacebook DeleteFacebookNow ZuckerbergIsATraitor
All these companies and more donate to blm . My hard earned cash will not be spent on any product that supports them
We still have free speech in this country. If you dont like something block it! Its that simple. If you think an ad is misleading do your own research and ignore it. I dont need Facebook to provide a censoring service.
FB is not needed. It is a platform that has sucked people in. Dump FB for good. YOU do not NEED FB, FB......needs YOU.
Zuckerberg continues to show a lack of empathy for folks who are upset about hate speech. Is this purely about economics for him? If so then his decisions on this point will have an economic impact on FB.
slpng_giants its a wicked fricken shame too.
slpng_giants Yet so many keep advertising on FOX News. Why?
About time. Facebook is poison and needs to go. Can someone bring back My Space?
I cut FB off like a month ago for that same reason and all that violent sexual stuff that they allowed to be on Facebook and I reported it and they didn't do anything about it but soon as I want to speak about something they want to put me in jail I'm off of Instagram as well
🤦🏼♀️
Leave BettyWhite alone!
Least soros can prop up un gates can prop up who and you tube and google track & trace sifting to private hospitals like nhs big fail, with data protection act. Rich idiots. That need gov corps.
Boo fucking hoo!
Interesting, so money made initially, 4 months ago he lost, zuckerberg is a pedo. Child killer. With his wife his foundation corporations. I said months ago be ready for financial collapse in some areas, from what gates, soros has done.
wow.. i loved facebook when i was 12
If it helps the validity of this story, I was blocked on Facebook for the next month because I made a comment Facebook didn’t like. But it’s totally A-OK for a racist to post a picture of a black man in a noose. 🙄 thankstrump
garywhitta
fuckzuck He cannot be trusted to monitor himself. He is cut from the same cloth as Trump. He loves power & $$. He thought he should run for office in 2016 when he saw how easy the Russian could use propaganda & algarythms to sway their votes. He is a child.
I predict that Facebook will boycott itself
