Reuters first to report Facebook ad boycott campaign to go global

Reuters broke the news that organizers of a Facebook Inc advertising boycott campaign that has drawn support from a rapidly expanding list of major companies are now preparing to take the battle global to increase pressure on the social media company to remove hate speech. Since the “Stop Hate for Profit” campaign launched in June, more than 160 companies, including Verizon Communications and Unilever Plc, have signed on to stop buying ads on the world’s largest social media platform for the month of July.
