Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's said it's joining an advertising boycott of Facebook.
"Ben & Jerry's stands with our friends at the NAACP and Color of Change, the ADL, and all those calling for Facebook to take stronger action to stop its platforms from being used to divide our nation, suppress voters, foment and fan the flames of racism and violence, and undermine our democracy," the company said in a statement on its website.
"As of July 1st we will pause all paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram in the United States as part of the #StopHateForProfit campaign," it added. "We call on Facebook, Inc. to take the clear and unequivocal actions called for by the campaign to stop its platform from being used to spread and amplify racism and hate."
The boycott known as #StopHateForProfit is being led by the NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League, and Color of Change, among others.
Several major brands have signed on to the campaign in the past week, including The North Face, REI, Patagonia, Upwork, Dashlane, Magnolia Pictures, Arc'teryx and Eddie Bauer.
