Yesterday, Facebook announced additional changes in response to the #StopHateForProfit advertising boycott that was launched by various civil rights organizations in mid-June.  The announcement also comes on the heels of Facebook being called out for running, earlier this month, a racist ad from "White Wellbeing Australia." 

Advertising Age reported that Facebook told advertisers that was "implementing changes to our content policies, including an expanded policy that bans praise, support and representation of white nationalism and white separatism, and a new policy that prohibits content encouraging or calling for the harassment of others."  (We previously blogged about changes that Facebook agreed to make in June addressing hate speech.)
