Consumer goods giant Unilever, a maker of branded soaps, foodstuffs and personal care items and also one of the world's biggest online advertisers, has fired a warning shot across the bows of social media giants by threatening to pull ads from digital platforms if they don't do more to mitigate the spread of what it dubs "toxic" online content.

Until we see proof of them taking a stand against actual toxic content (and not just content they disagree with), I wouldn't hold my breath.

Kelloggs pulled ads from Breitbart stating it didn't "align with their values". I see Unilever being no different.
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.
