The Hershey Co. will halt spending on Facebook in July and cut its spend on the platform by a third for the remainder of the year

led by civil-rights groups including the Anti-Defamation League and NAACP over its content moderation in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing.

"We invest billions of dollars each year to keep our community safe and continuously work with outside experts to review and update our policies. We've opened ourselves up to a civil rights audit, and we have banned 250 white supremacist organizations from Facebook and Instagram.

Zuckerberg said that the company would expand its ad policy to prohibit claims that people with a specific race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion are a threat to anyone else. Facebook said it would also begin labeling content deemed "newsworthy" like a speech from a politician — even if it violates the company's policies.

"In the same way that news outlets will often report what a politician says, we think it's important that people should generally be able to see it for themselves on our platforms, too," Zuckerberg said during a public livestream of the company's town hall meeting on Friday.
