Outdoor apparel brand The North Face has become the best-known company yet to commit to an advertising boycott of Facebook in light of the social media platform's handling of misinformation and hate speech — a move that could open the door for other brands to do the same.
The brand's decision responds to a pressure campaign by top civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, known as #StopHateForProfit, which on Wednesday began calling for advertisers to suspend their marketing on Facebook in the month of July.
"We're in," The North Face tweeted. "We're out @Facebook #StopHateForProfit."
Hours later, outdoor equipment retailer REI said it will join the boycott.
[...] The activists demanding change face an enormously ambitious task. Facebook is the second-largest player in US digital marketing after Google, and last year generated $69.7 billion from advertising worldwide.

Given what you wrote, that sounds like the ideal outcome.
Why? Should New Zealand reshuffle their laws every time some evil and/or idiotic person does something? I'll warn you, even in a relatively smart place like New Zealand, that's going to happen a lot.
and the Jacinda-driven knee-jerk afterwards taking guns from legitimate owners.
Keep in mind who was a legitimate firearm owner before he started shooting people! This precrime stuff is hard!
