New Zealand's biggest advertisers have written a joint letter calling on the international advertising community to join its boycott of Facebook advertising. If these changes are not made, the pair of executives call international advertisers to suspend the use of the platform altogether until Facebook ensures the spread of such harmful content can never happen again. This comes after a range of high-profile New Zealand advertisers decided to suspend their advertising on the platform. This includes major banks ASB, ANZ, BNZ, TSB and Westpac as well as a number of other major local advertisers. Consider suspending advertising on Facebook until its live streaming functionality is either taken down or sufficient controls are put in place.
