Albertsons Cos. is pausing all of its social media advertising in July to work with the platforms to identify, develop, and implement necessary changes around the conversations happening online.
In a statement, Albertsons said, “As a company, we have committed to holding courageous conversations that reflect our genuine desire to boldly face inequity and injustice head on. While these are difficult discussions, they have proved constructive by extending a spirit of courtesy, dignity, and respect to all who participate.”
The statement continued, “These conversations are happening in our society at large as well—often online. Frankly, we think these environments could benefit from more courtesy, dignity, and respect. It is incumbent on social media platforms to take more responsibility for the climate they foster. That includes taking bold steps to combat hate speech and misinformation, and having better support for targeted users.”
