In the past few weeks, advertisements for hundreds of brands — including Adidas, Starbucks, Patagonia, and Pepsi – have been disappearing from Facebook as the Stop Hate for Profit boycott campaign gears up.

“Through user reporting and proactive monitoring, we remove thousands of content and block thousands of profiles, either a month to advertise violence and cruelty or to spread offensive content on our platform, without connection to the offender’s origin,” VK said.
“There are additional facts about what we are doing to combat the demands of violence in our ‘Safety Guidelines’ section,” VK.
