Mark Zuckerberg just became $7.2 billion poorer after a flurry of companies pulled advertising from Facebook Inc.s network.
Shares of the social media company fell 8.3% on Friday, the most in three months, after Unilever, one of the worlds largest advertisers, joined other brands in boycotting ads on the social network. Unilever said it would stop spending money with Facebooks properties this year.
Companies from Verizon Communications Inc. to Hershey Co. have also stopped social media ads after critics said that Facebook has failed to sufficiently police hate speech and disinformation on the platform. Coca-Cola Co. said it would pause all paid advertising on all social media platforms for at least 30 days.

(257 posts)Zuckerberg has allowed racist propaganda and misinformation on his platform yet Fox News is a race baiting origin of xenophobic propaganda, misinformation and flat out lies. In terms of scope, I submit FOX is actually more damaging. If these corporations care, FOX is next.
