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.
