(Wall Street Journal)  -  Unilever PLC is threatening to pull back its advertising from popular tech platforms, including YouTube and Facebook Inc., if they don’t do more to combat the spread of fake news, hate speech and divisive content.
“Unilever will not invest in platforms or environments that do not protect our children or which create division in society, and promote anger or hate,” Unilever Chief Marketing Officer Keith Weed is expected to say Monday during the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s annual leadership meeting in Palm Desert, Calif.
“We will prioritize investing only in responsible platforms that are committed to creating a positive impact in society,” he will say, according to prepared remarks.
Unilever, one of the world’s largest advertisers, is leveraging its spending power to push the digital media industry to weed out content that funds terrorism, exploits children, spreads false news or supports racist and sexist views.

my own country in run by fascists
the executive power is allign with the corporate one ... even if this is run by a foreign power state ... as much as fascists they are traitors
even the old coot they called fascist, once , was at least a nationalist one , even if in essence a dictator ... he only allow the corporate power that he like
my country is always bouncing back in totalitarian rule , even as a democratic masquerade ...
it`s the fate of a poor country , with venial elites with large egos, , and the knack for official fancy state cars and state perks
