Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s said it will join other companies and stop advertising on Facebook. The boycott comes over concerns of the company’s role in spreading hate speech. Ben & Jerry’s said Facebook must take “clear and unequivocal actions” to deter racism and hate from being amplified. According to Business Insider, the NAACP and Anti-Defamation League called for advertisers to abandon Facebook. The groups say Facebook amplifies the voices of white supremacits and helps spread misinformation.
