German companies pull advertising from US website Breitbart
BERLIN — Several large German companies, including carmaker BMW, have pulled their ads from U.S.-based news and opinion website Breitbart due to concerns about its content, following a similar move by cereal maker Kellogg’s.
The German boycott was spurred by a social media campaign using the hashtag #KeinGeldFuerRechts , which translates as “No Money for the Right.” The campaign urges companies to stop paying for ads on sites considered to promote racist and nationalist ideas.
