SAN FRANCISCO - Supervisor Matt Haney is pushing to remove the name of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg from San Francisco General Hospital. Haney posted a long Twitter message that questioned whether it was appropriate to keep Zuckerberg's name on the hospital.
Civil-rights groups like the NAACP have been pushing advertisers to pull spending from Facebook to protest what they describe as a failure to halt hate speech and misinformation on its platform.
Clorox—the company behind its namesake cleaning supplies, Kingsford charcoal and other consumer brands—said it is pausing global ad spending on Facebook and Instagram through December. The move is to act against hate speech, “which we believe will increase through the balance of the year,” the company said in a statement.
Ford Motor Co., Clorox Co. and Denny’s Corp. are joining a parade of companies that have moved to halt advertising spending on Facebook Inc., citing how the social-media giant has handled speech on its platforms.
