Numerous businesses are pausing their advertising campaigns on Facebook (FB) and Instagram

Numerous businesses are pausing their advertising campaigns on Facebook (FB) – and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook – to boycott the company’s policies around what content it moderates and how. Facebook has refused to take responsibility for hate, bias, and discrimination growing on their platforms. The campaign, called “Stop Hate for Profit” already has some big names involved, including a large swath of the outdoor apparel industry. By targeting advertisers, the groups hope to get Facebook to change how it responds to misinformation and threats. In a statement to various media outlets, Facebook has said that it respects brands' decisions and that it "remains focused" on removing hate speech and providing voting information.
