WaExaminer: A top ice cream brand is joining a group of companies refusing to advertise with Facebook citing concerns over the tech giant’s policing of abuse.
Vermont brand Ben & Jerry’s announced on Tuesday it would temporarily cease paying advertising to Facebook or the image-based social media platform Instagram after both companies have failed to take “clear and unequivocal actions” to better monitor its services.
“We will pause all paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram in the US in support of the #StopHateForProfit campaign,” the company tweeted. “Facebook, Inc. must take the clear and unequivocal actions to stop its platform from being used to spread and amplify racism and hate.” READ MORE
Wait……what!? Ohhhhhhhh…… I think I see.
B&J’s isn’t stopping because they’re afraid of what FB & Igram might do to them……..
B&J is stopping because FB & Igram isn’t going FAR ENOUGH to “stop racism and hate”.
All three companies can kiss my rosie red eye.
I have NEVER eaten that ice cream.
Did I say NEVER?
Breyers has always been the go to for us…or maybe Good Humor for the ice cream sandwiches…
Or ‘Italian Ices’…anyone remember those? They came in a cup with a lid.
New BJ flavor:
Molotov Cock
B & J is corporate-owned anyway, this is just posturing.
Nice try, B&J.
I’m still boycotting you though.
I bought a pint of their ice cream years ago and wasn’t impressed. I’ll stick with a good ol’ Texas company, Blue Bell.
ghost,
Blue Bunny is good also.
All these big media corporations are kissing liberal asses who will boycott them for simply making a profit.
Don’t want no dirty hippy ice cream ’round these parts…
My Petey B LOVES Ben and Jerry’s “Chasten’s Unbleached Elastic Starfish Chocolate Chunk!”
My Petey B also LOVES Ben and Jerry’s “Chasten’s Unbleached Elastic Starfish Fudgepacker Swirl!”
My Petey B REALLY LOVES Ben and Jerry’s “Chasten’s Unbleached Elastic Starfish Crunchy Nuts and Cream!”
Butt my favorite Ben and Jerry’s ice cream that is named after my Petey B that my unbleached elastic starfish can’t get enough of is Ben and Jerry’s “Petey B’s Frozen Schlong Sundae!”
I don’t buy their overpriced ice cream or their phony socially responsible bullshit.
Whatever happened to “When you sign your name on my paycheck, I’ll do what you tell me to do”?
I wish I could say, “I’ll NEVER buy your ice cream again!”
Alas, I never bought it to begin with.
‘Italian Ices’ came in a box with a lid?
….where do Italians keep the rest of their faces?
So another liberal run company seeks to implement the mark of the beast. I stopped buying B&J ice cream a decade ago when I found out they were liberals.
It’s just left eats left.
They’re just pissed that facebook isn’t throwing anyone but progs off the site, that’s all.
Who cares?
I never liked their ice cream.
Overrated POS.
Their activism is even worse then their so-called icecream.
Stop buying their products, stop giving them the attention they seem so desperate for with their lame virtue signaling.
Eat Bum & Jerk’s Ice Cream? Never.
