Facebook policy changes fail to quell advertiser revolt as Coca-Cola pulls ads

Company follows Unilever's lead after platform announces shift in how it handles hate speech

Facebook has announced changes to its policies around hate speech and voter suppression, but the measures have done little to quell the wave of companies pulling advertising from the platform amid backlash over how the company handles hate speech online.

The CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, on Friday announced tweaks to a number of policies, hours after the multinational Unilever said it would pull its advertisements from the platform for the next six months.
