Verizon suspends advertising on Facebook, joins growing boycott

“We’re pausing our advertising until Facebook can create an acceptable solution that makes us comfortable,” a Verizon representative said.

Verizon joins a list of U.S. companies that have stopped advertising on Facebook in support of the Stop Hate for Profit campaign, started by several U.S. civil rights groups, even as Facebook worked to contain the growing revolt. Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s and outdoor gear companies Patagonia and The North Face are among 10 brands that previously said they would suspend ads on the social media site.“We respect any brand’s decision and remain focused on the important work of removing hate speech and providing critical voting information,” said Carolyn Everson, vice president of global business for Facebook.

Corporations telling other corporations to infringe on free speech.

Glad I left Verizon already...as military family member we sacrifice everything to protect and defend free speech...even for those we don't agree with

Bullshit

Go Verizon

Great job Verizon 👏👏

Have you heard the BLM hate speech’s, calls to violence...I hope all hate is focused... not the conic tunnel vision of current media narrative! DefenseIntel

In war, you take flak when your over the enemy's site. Why would Verizon care this much about silly conspiratorial posts...? Unless, they weren't silly. QAnons QArmy QAlert Qdrops QPosts

I hope more companies get on this!

yea im sure this has nothing to do with money... its all about morality.. sure...

I’m not trying to scam anyone, im just trying to get some help with gas money so I can get back home. I miss my girl. I have cash app $tatorsalad91

Facebook is boring.

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Good 4 Verizon! I reported a 'Q' FB site posting conspiracy rants abt 'Antifa' & BLM going 2 the 'burbs around Gettysburg 2 kill white people, burn their houses on July 4 & these 'Q' nutts r planning 2 b there n force 'to shoot them all'. FB decided in just 21 min the site was ok

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Thank you Verizon

katielpaul Sheila_Dang 👌

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Yesterday I was put in Facebook jail for a week after sharply criticizing a racist politician’s hate rant that someone else had posted there. I think that speaks for itself.

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Good. I'm tired to seeing adds for the new Razr. Throw that shit away. JusticeForNoossie

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Really ?

katielpaul Sheila_Dang My pussy is thirsty for risk

katielpaul Sheila_Dang Well done, that wee phleb is only interested in making money

katielpaul Sheila_Dang good!

All networks lead to Rome... Verizon

Good.

Facebook thank you for stand up for free speach!

The marketplace decides—Not government officials who don’t know jack - Defund Congress

F em. Cancel themselves

Well done

about time really. facebook has a lot to answer for

Verizon is gay

This part of the game/puzzle still amazes me. Facebook has been caught deleting all kinds of posts for the cause. They have been caught hiring and firing for the cause. Still they are being punished. Who isn't being complied with? This fascinates me.

Advertisers get off Facebook

Encouraging Censorship fascism

I'd like to see this so-called Anti-semite rhetoric.

Finally!!!

Can ppl stop taking money FROM Facebook? Hearing ads from them in my podcasts feels wrong.

Fuck Facebook.

When was the last time you saw a Verizon ad on FB or insta? That’s right, never. It’s millions of small businesses and their advertising is by far the most effective out there.

I have been boycotting Facebook since its birth. It's the best thing to do-seriously

Well done Verizon DeleteFacebook

فيسبوك اصبح يغلق الحسابات المعارضة للانظمة القمعية بذات في الدول العربية مثل مصر وكانهم متفقين مع بعضهم البعض

VERIZON is the bad actor here. Facebook has said it won't be the thought police like twitter is becoming. You can never purify a site without giving up free speech. Don't cheer this ...you could always end up having the wrong think next month. Perhaps we should suspend Verizon?

Verizon is pulling advertising from Facebook and InstagramVerizon says it is pulling advertising on Facebook until the company 'can create an acceptable solution that makes us comfortable.' Well, with the Fuckin rates they charge they should still be just fine. Makes a ton of sense. Let’s not turn to elected officials to decide the rules and regulations of censorship. Let’s allow a company to dictate. Seems logical. Honestly good lol that’s less unwanted ads disturbing my peaceful scrolls on the TL

Ben & Jerry's the latest to join the #StopHateforProfit Facebook ad boycottIconic 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. 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 Cancel culture. Very UnAmerican!
