        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The boss of Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s says the ice cream slinger is considering joining a <strong>growing Facebook ads boycott</strong>, but thinks it doesn&#8217;t go far enough.</p><p>Facebook&#8217;s failure to police hate speech and misinformation &#8220;is not fully right with our values, period,&#8221; Chief Executive Matthew McCarthy said, adding that the revenue generated by the social network&#8217;s ad network was not worth it.</p><p>&#8220;The reality is, anything that&#8217;s right for the business, but wrong for our values, is wrong,&#8221; he said at the <strong>CMO Network Summit</strong> hosted by The Wall Street Journal.</p><p>Major brands including The North Face and Patagonia have boycotted Facebook in the past week as civil rights groups that have taken aim at its revenue-generating ad network.</p><p>The NAACP has called Facebook “no longer simply negligent, but in fact, complacent in the spread of misinformation, despite the irreversible damage to our democracy.&#8221;</p><p>In his remarks, McCarthy said Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s will &#8220;always aspire to do the right thing. And we want our partners to do the same thing.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;So to me, it&#8217;s not just about signing on to boycott, which certainly, we may do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s about what are the actions that we&#8217;d like to see happen so that we can collaborate with partners who want to progress the change that we support.&#8221;</p><p>Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s parent company Unilever declined to commit to a company-wide boycott of Facebook&#8217;s ad network, according to the Journal, saying that &#8220;walking away is not the solution at this stage.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
