Verizon has joined the list of major companies pledging to halt advertising with Facebook for the month of July to protest hate speech on the social media platform.
The addition of Verizon, the telecommunications giant, bolsters the list of companies that also includes Eddie Bauer, the U. S. clothing store chain, and Ben & Jerry’s, the ice cream maker, along with The North Face, Patagonia, REI, Mozilla and Upwork among about 100 companies said to be committed.
The boycott idea was launched June 17 by the #StopHateForProfit campaign, which includes the NAACP, Anti-Defamation League, Sleeping Giants, Color of Change, Free Press and Common Sense.
