Scottish Labour is boycotting Facebook in protest at the social media giant’s stance on hate speech.
The party will not buy adverts this month amid claims the company profits from inflammatory comment.
Leader Richard Leonard said: “Scottish Labour stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and as part of this we are joining the advertising boycott of Facebook for the month of July.
“There is much more that Facebook can do to combat the spreading of hateful material, and we hope that this global movement can send a powerful message to Facebook.”
In a global campaign started in the US, more than 500 firms agreed to stop advertising on Facebook in a bid to force stronger action against hate speech.
